During treatment I grew the hottest jalape�os I ever tasted in my life. My youngest just moved here and we decided to can them together since we had talked about it for years. A few weeks out I decided we would check them out. They were beyond hot! I went to eat lunch with him at school and found out he was selling them to Hispanics in a dare. He had a pocket full of quarters and a few new friends. I gave most away and just asked for the jars back.

I'm thinking if you eat a lot of hot stuff before treatment, it doesn't bother as much.
