Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Anyone like hot stuff?

I have always enjoyed hot sauce, but there years ago I got inspired by a gentleman on YouTube to get into eating extremely hot stuff; specifically the hottest peppers in the world, whole and raw. Below is one video of me eating two Trinidad scorpion peppers, and another of me eating a scotch bonnet with a drop of mad dog (rated at 357,000 scovilles). A regular is the ghost pepper. I have also had half of a dehydrated Carolina reaper, and that was really hot. When you dehydrate peppers, they get hotter.

You clearly are disabled because you appear to lack oral TRPV1 receptors. How can you monetize that, Cam?

:-) Monetize the video?

Monetize your ability to scarf down food that would cripple if not mortally wound a mere mortal!

LOL. It would be nice if I could. I have been bedridden for 8 months straight and nearly died. Money would bring me some joy.

I am saddened to hear that, Cam. Covid-related?

No, buddy. I was diagnosed with osteomyelitis in my right hip sore, and medical professionals didn't do anything for it. A month after the diagnosis, I had to be rushed to emerge because my sore gushed drainage and ended up tunneling 10 inches down my leg and opening up through the skin. The infection was in my bloodstream, but luckily not too bad. The ER Doc pulled 4 feet of packing out of my right hip. She literally told me that she was happy that I came in. She also felt terrible for me with what I had been dealing with that month, which there is a lot (runaround). They immediately started me on a six week IV (which they should've administered within two days of being diagnosed) and oral Flagyl. My mental wellbeing is not what it was. And I am not looking for pity. Never have and never will.

Did you get that from eating hot shit that would kill the devil himself?

Seriously though, unless you go into the doctor bleeding and holding a severed appendage, they claim all is good and send you right on home. You are certainly very fortunate to have pulled through, Cam. I'm glad you're still with us.

I was very lucky as it is how Christopher Reeve died.
