As a herbalist they are not equal.
Cayenne is a specific type of hot pepper.
Tabasco is about 40,000 HU. Low by today's standard and what's on the
market.
For an emergency anything HOT, as HOT as one can get and take is the
recommendation (SCHULTZ)

    Secondly if Dr Christopher was having success with a  40,000 HU cayenne,
maybe heat is not so much a factor as is the type of herb  that he used.
Habanero's were certainly available for Dr Christopher to choose  from
  How much tabasco would be equal to a t of cayenne?
