No, but I made an eyewash (strained) with it once. It does the expected and causes tears to flow, but I swear everything was clearer afterward. I've sniffed it accidentally. The eyewash was more fun.

No, but I once snorted a BC headache powder. To my besotted brain it seemed like a perfectly logical decision; I had a headache and snorting is supposed to get stuff into the bloodstream faster than oral ingestion. I suppose it worked in a perverse sort of way. As soon as the shit hit my nasal passage I forgot all about the headache. I was far too busy trying to determine whether or not my fucking nose had exploded.

NO! NEVER! Not even once! Why I never even thought of....

Oh... Wait a minute.... This thread is about sniffing Cayenne pepper?

Well, that's different, then.

Yeah, I sniffed some once back when I was in college, but I didn't inhale. I just sort of caught a whiff, just to see what it was like, you know, but I didn't actually injest any. Well, not much. Almost none at all.

I frankly don't see what all the fuss is about.

That's because Cayenne ain't jacksquat Hawk.

I used to keep assorted bottles of various pepper sauces including one unbelievably hot killer called "Endorphin Rush." Its made by the same folks who make Dave's Insanity Sauce but is even hotter. I had both which are Habenero based and also several others of the Thai variety. Our teen foster kids used to occasionally trick someone with a tad on a sandwich. I have a zillion tales but this one is priceless.

A friend, Jimmy, is spending the night prior to going to a Basketball Camp quite early the next morning. The group of about 7 are goofing off in the kitchen and doing dares with the sauce. I walk in to find them all drinking milk and eating crackers and laughing trying to kill the burn. We all laugh and I suggest they turn in as its late and all. They do in various rooms, beds, sleeping bags, etc. I go to the big den to watch TV.

About an hour or more later I head for the kitchen and realize someone is taking a shower. I knock and inquire as I pass the bathroom and Jimmy says its him. I can't figure why he's showering that late at night but I soon find out. Jimmy was like one of our own and comes out wrapped in a towel and asks what will get the hot sauce off his skin because it burns really bad. I tell him the only thing I know is soap and more soap. I asked if it was his face or eyes and he said no.......it was worse. The kid had scratched his balls and he was hurtin'!!!

That was probably 15 years ago and we saw Jimmy and his wife and kids a few weeks ago and he reminded US about it. I guess both of us have gotten some mileage out of that night......just a lot less painfully for me.

He and his new lady friend had been to a restaurant where he'd been showing off by eating chilis out of a bowl.

Later that night, when they had retired to bed to do what people do in bed when they aren't sleepy, she suddenly leapt out screaming 'my f&nny's on fire, my f&nny's on fire! (Note to Americans, it's the UK meaning of the word, not the American. Same area, different side).

Moral of the story.... always, always ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly!

re snorting cayenne, a very useful thing to do if congested is to sniff steamimg peppermint oil. (breathing in the vapour of a few drops in boiling water). a billion times stronger and more effective than eucalyptus vapour, like chilli or cayenne it blasts out the sinuses and can feel like an explosion in the brain. But it acts like a disinfectant and can clear the nose and lungs of infection and can dry up bronchitis...

but only for the brave, and again, it's important to wash hands afterwards. I use peppermint oil from the herbal pharmacy in sydney.

Well, they took off my other, really funny one...soooo.......


They actually have a Chili Cook Off about the time Halloween comes
around.
It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City
Park.
Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili Taster named Frank, who was
visiting
from Springfield, IL

Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili
cook-off. The original person called in sick at the
last moment and I
happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for
directions to
the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the
other two
judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and,
besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I
accepted."

Here are the scorecard notes from the event:

*****************************************************
CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 - Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You
could
remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the
flames
out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
*****************************************************
CHILI # 2 - A USTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI..
Judge # 1 -- Smoky,
with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge #2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken
seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure
what I'm
supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted
to
give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they
saw
the look on my face.
*****************************************************
CHILI # 3 - FRED'S BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose
feels
like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get
me
more beer before I ignite. Ba rmaid pounded me on the back, now my
backbone
is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting drunk from all of the
beer.

*****************************************************
CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC...
Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish
or
other mild foods not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was
unable to
taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste bud s? Sally, the beermaid,
was
standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-LB woman is starting to
look
HOT, just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
*****************************************************
CHILI # 5 LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER...
Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
adding
considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using sh redded beef, could use more tomato. Must
admit
the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge #
3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead
and I
can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed
paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her
chili
had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by
pouring
beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips
off.
It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop
screaming.
*****************************************************
CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY...
Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of
spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and
garlic.
Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with
gaseous,
sulfuric flames. I pooped on myself when I farted and I'm worried it
will
eat through the chair. No one seems incline d
to stand behind me
except
that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my rearend with
a
snow cone.
*****************************************************
CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI...< /FONT>
Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned
peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can
of
chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am
worried
about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing
uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I
wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds
like
it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid
unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt.
At
least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to

stop
breathing, it's too painful. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I
need
air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
*****************************************************
CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI...
Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too
bold
but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild
nor
hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed
out,
fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if
he's
going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really
hot
chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report

ok, here it is,,simple, but good..and even cheap..
You know those roasted chickens that you get in the store?...and you can hardly ever eat the whole thing??..Now you don't have to use those particular chickens...but the work just fine, and their already cooked..
ok, de-bone whatever is left,(the more, the merrier), and toss the pieces in a small, to medium saucepan. Add about two inches of water, and heat it up....meanwhile, in another pan, cook up some rice(should take about 14 minutes after putting in the rice, in the boiling water)
Toss in a can of green chillies Small can will do, if you're making a little. Add a dash..only a dash, of garlic powder, and a shake or two of salt..enough to taste....When the rice is cooked, add a little bit of corn starch, with cold water,(to make it dissolve, and not be lumpy), into the chicken and water. You do this at the end, because the acid in the chillies, will keep it from staying thick...ok?? Take a large, thin flour tortilla, and toss it right onto the burner, right over the flame(or if you have and electric oven, right on the filament).
Watch it so it doesn't burn, but it should bubble a little, and the bubbles on the bottom might get dark, even just a little black..but not too much. Flip tortilla over a couple of times...this takes just a few seconds, on each side, flipping it over a couple of times...ok?
Now take the tortilla(which should be pliable, and put it on a large plate, spoon out some of the rice, and run a line of it off center a little on the tortilla..do the same with the chicken stuff..at least equal portions of both...sprinkle some grated(you can buy it that way)
Monterey Jack cheese over it..don't skimp...roll it up and fold it right, (no instructions on here for that)...give it a moment or two, to let the cheese melt a little...then stuff your face!..It should have a slight 'buttery' flavor to it!....Practice may make perfect..BUT..if you do it exactly the way I wrote it, you might get it right on the first shot! Once you get it, its a way to feed a bunch of your musical buddies, well...and they'll love it!..ok...my good deed for the day.....try it even print out this recipe..it sounds simple..it is simple...but it tastes great!!....
Now if you don't want to roll it, you can just roll it and leave it on the plate, smother it in more green chili sauce and Monterey Jack, throw a few olives on for good measure. Fast, too!!....good luck

The medicinal properties of cayenne pepper are claimed in a vast number of "legends" and occasionally by those devoted to a particular "treatment," who proselytise strenuously in the attempt to get others to try their da**d-fool experiments.

Of course, my own father's use for many years of cayenne pepper hair tonic falls in the category of confirmed and useful treatment. He would add about a quarter pound (more or less) of c. pepper to a quart (or so) of vodka and let it steep for a couple of weeks, then decant the liquid into a convenient receptacle - which usually resembled a pint whisky bottle.

Left in the towel cabinet in the bathroom for convenient access after a shampoo, it was discovered by a number of his "visiting friends."

As the color was quite similar to the whisky that might have once occupied the container, and the vodka provided a sufficiently provocative odor, more than one "guest" uttered gentlemanly profanity and threatened mildly(?) offensive actions involving parts of daddy's anatomy after "sampling" the hair tonic.

Few of the samplers appeared concerned about the embarrassment of having been caught snooping in the private contents of the closet - presumedly due to the other matters on their (somewhat beclouded?) minds.

It was also remarked once that this hair tonic is also effective in teaching small puppies that they should not lick their master's ears, but that's sort of another story...
