I'm sure that putting it under the tongue works faster than putting it down the throat. But I had not heard that before as Schulze says give it to them in droppers full and let them swallow it. Same as with drinking the powder in the water glass. But I will certainly remember the under the tongue thing.
Here's a listing from a pepper site for habs. >>Most habaneros rate 200,000 to 300,000 Scoville heat units. Yee ha!! That s hot!!<< A bit hotter than your bird peppers. They are probably hotter here, locally in south texas, in the late summer because strong summer heat and sun makes peppers grow hotter than the cooler northern grown ones. Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- I do not use Habinaro peppers, or any other home grown verities. So no comment, but African Bird, (look it up) is very hot, 146 K (Hu) That stands for 186,000 Heating Units
