My poor Dad. He couldn't tolerate anything hot at all. He was diabetic and one day my Mom and I were shopping. When we came in Dad was in his chair, out of it, kind of slumped over and not responsive. I thought he had a stroke or heart attack so I got out my super hot cayenne tincture and put a dropper full in his mouth. Swallow response was instinctive. Gave him a second dropper full. Was putting the third dropper up to his mouth and his hand slowly came up and he waved 'no'-so I stopped. I thought-if he can do that, that's enough cayenne maybe.
Mom had of course called the ambulance while I was doing this and about then they came running up to the door. When they checked he was actually in a diabetic 'coma' rather than a heart issue. They rushed him to the hospital where they straightened him out. He came home the next day. For about 3 days he could barely whisper and kept saying 'they must have put something down my throat because it's so sore'. Lol I didn't dare tell him I dosed him with habannero cayenne tincture. Samala, Renee Well he sure tasted the cayenne before he got the pill down the face told me that and we pulled him out of the stroke he had a month ago with zero lasting impact. But yes I can try him with minimal amounts to keep up the good work
