Up front I will admit I'm a comparative wimp in my heat tolerance, I do
not eat habs raw. But the other day I tasted something that was a bit
too hot for me - I can't even remember what - Soon after I ate one of my
homemade dill pickles. The heat went away immediately. I had not eaten
the dill hoping to get rid of the heat, but it sure did it. I don't know
if that would do much for REALLY hot stuff but maybe others can try it
out.

And while I'm talking chiles - We have 5 Hab plants with lots of big
gorgous peppers on them, large but still green. We also have 10 jalepeno
plants that are producing well ( I will eat those raw) The one
disappointment has been a supposed "hot" yellow wax pepper. I got the
seeds from the Chile-Sauce Lovers Kit ( I think that's what it's called)
I could give that pepper to my grandmother! Of course, around here,
(Milwaukee, Wis) it doesn't take much for natives to think something
spicy.
