    Capsaicin retains it's original heat potency level whether it's been cooked, frozen, or aged over time; and has no odour or flavour.
    How many scovilles was the 'Bastard' Earthquake ?

    SHUs for measuring that rumble would be F/A

    But on a T.V toss-o-meter probably somewhere around a 3 as Pete's T.V just fell over , Sept 4th however managed to toss a 40" wide screen a clear 5ft into the middle of our lounge landed face down & didn't break the f@#ker either

    Just be thankful this last shake was located where it was if it'd be land based yous would have really known what a good shake-up is all about

    Diluted, fuck me. I would hate to get hit in the eyes with the proper hot stuff then. Effective though, that stuff the coppers give ya, takes the fight right out of you.

    The guys that work with pure capsaicin...chemical engineers etc have to wear full bio suits & respirators
    3.5 mil is the measurement of tactical grade pepper spray not mace etc that is lower in strength.

    I like the fact that the locals where Bhuts come from make Elephant repellent with them to stop rogue bulls rampaging though their villages
