While working a show a few years back, I had some of Blairs' Sudden
Death (extract super hot) in a dish on the table along with several of
my own.  A young mother and her maybe 4 year old son came up & started
chatting.  As they approached the table I could hear the Mom repeatedly
tell the child not to touch anything.  Can we see this one coming? 
During a moment when I was distracted discussing sauces with her, the
child reached up and grabbed a handful of the Sudden Death.  I'm
shouting as I dive over the table, but am too late to stop him from
smearing it into his face and mouth.  It isn't soon before he is
SCREAMING in pain & I felt about 2 inches tall with all kinds of legal
hassles running through my head.  His mom, bless her, simply said-
that's what you get for not listending to me, maybe next time you will. 
(My father always used to tell me that 'the burnt finger teaches best'
:-)  I sprung for ice cream for them & she returned some time later with
a kid wiser but no worse for the wear.
