One person who ate Carolina · Reaper said "It took 21.85 seconds to eat three Carolina · Reaper, it took 14 hours to recover from aftermath." A serious reaction will continue not only when eating but also after eating, but this is due to the reaction of capsaicin. As capsaicin's receptor really activates the cell just as it gets injured or burned, sweating action occurs to cool the burn in the body, expanding blood vessels to cope with injury and heart rate As a result, we will deal with injuries that have not actually been received.

Bruce Bryant, a biologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center says, "Your body that ate hot things just say 'I'm trying to get rid of it, even if I do not know if it is a burn or chemical reaction' I guess. " It is because the terminal nerve that senses pain sensation in the stomach exists to eat when Carolina · Reaper is eaten, and neurons that sense burns activated by capsaicin also go through everything in the mouth and stomach As it exists, the reaction continues until the swallowed peppers are digested and excreted.

On the other hand, since these reactions can be accommodated for a whole day at the longest, it is considered that there is no long-term hazard due to eating red pepper. There are also some types of birds that do not have receptors responsive to capsaicin, and even if they eat pepper seeds, the same reactions as humans do not occur. It may be fortunate for people of spicy enthusiasts to eat red pepper and react as "hot".
