[CH] Discomfort vs Anguish

Fellow CHs,
I was just sitting here pondering a question that I felt would be an
interesting one for the list. Some office mates and myself just finished
eating the first Jalapeno to arrive from our "office garden"  and one of my
office mates experienced a great deal of discomfort after the experience. It
got me wondering if people can actually experience severe medical problems
(shock, etc.) from eating a pepper that was "too hot" if you will. I know
some elementary school kids down in Castle Rock CO got sick after consuming
some of Dave's Insanity but after hearing that the sickest girl allegedly
consumed 2 cap-fulls of it, an awful lot of adults would get sick off of
that amount. Just curious.
