What makes it hot?
Last year, grew some jalapenos. They were relatively mild. Could eat raw,
no eye tearing or tremendous urge to drink liquids resulted. This year, same seed, eyes tear up, scalp sweats, lots of liquids after eating this year's. Biggest differences in the garden. Lotsa rain this spring and beginning summer. Added sandy loam to the raised bed garden in winter. Jalapenos longer on the plant before beginning to change color this year. Like to pick em just before the color change sets in. Dave |

Dave were you mad when you planted them? my pops used to swear that peppers turned out hotter the more mad you were during planting! lol! seriously now, mine do the same thing...last year they weren't very hot, this year, they are hotter. every year that i have planted hot peppers, the hotness of them has differed. my mom, sis, & I have been talking about this very thing lately, as their peppers are also hotter this year......

Dave Personally, I like my jalapenos hot. I'm really disappointed when they turn out mild, which is why I grow my own. My understanding is that the more mature the pepper is, the hotter it will be. If you want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds before eating. If you don't want the heat, try Anaheim peppers (which are very good for chile rellenos). So my advice is, if your gonna eat ja-lap-pin-nos, pick 'em young and remove the seeds. Otherwise, ice cream can help with the heat, but it gets soft if you sit on it for too long. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |

Dave I've planted seeds from the same packet that produced hot peppers of varying degrees of heat, some plants bore very mild peppers, others very hot. There could be other factors at work but from personal experience I've found that each pepper plant produces peppers with a heat level different from another plant, usually the differences are so minor it's difficult to detect but with some plants there are major differences. I generally plant only 4-6 hot pepper plants. Last year I dried most of the peppers and eventually crushed them all to use primarilly for pizza sprinkling. Some of those peppers must have been extremely hot because all blended together the batch was much too hot for me. Yet the few I pickled were quite edible. |

Am of age where that becomes a regular thing to check at the doc's office during physical. So, don't want to modify anything regarding intake like removing seeds or pickling. Don't know what exactly in the jalapeno produces those results. Are there any cases where intake of jalapenos can result in sensitivity to heat in the extremities? Thumb, and 2 adjacent fingers on left hand have become sensitive to heat for reason not apparent to me. First sensation is a coldness, then, hypersensitive heat sensation when around high heat like BBQ etc. Noticed this yesterday. Dave |

Dave sounds like either a nerve damage problem or a case of someone taking medications that state "do not be in sunlight or areas of direct heat". that is a precaution warning (not exact statement, but close enough) on several 'normal' medications, ie some blood pressure meds, muscle relaxers and diabetic meds, just to name a few but like cheryl said, sounds like something for a doctor to hear.......... rae |

Don't know what exactly in the jalapeno produces those results. It's the capsicum content that is responsible for the heat (in all hot peppers) and delaying the on-set of prostrate cancer.

One thing you can count on is, if you live long enough, your prostate will kill you.

Handling hot peppers bare-handed, can do it for some people. This sounds like a job for someone with malpractice insurance.

Follow Cheryl's advice, see a doctor. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ If I understand the plumbing right, I don't want to get rid of my prostate at the moment. Makes life a bit boring. The symptom of heat sensitivity is gone. The only thing I did unusual to my normal routine is something I've never done before. I used Roundup for the first time on my gravel driveway. Used the ultra concentrated version in a dispenser connnected to a water hose. I had to change hands to reach around and drag the 100' water hose a few times. Think I got some on the left hand when changing hands with the dispenser during the water hose drag. I do remember feeling a coating feeling on the left hand now that I think of it later during the spraydown. I did wash my hands well in Ajax dish detergent afterwards. Guess the deed was already done... Went to Lowes and got more roundup this morning, applied another coat of it. First round seems to have worked on the Buffalo grass, most of the St. Augustine laughed it off. Dave |
