I chould not tell anything after that. Big Ed What was the atmosphere in the truck like. I transported one sealed package of habs that sat in the car one hot afternoon and my S.O. complained of the smell and watery eyes for weeks. << Jim >> I bought a package of about ten Melissa's Habaneros, right before going on vacation. After using two of them in my lemonade, I took the plastic wrap off the package and placed it on the dashboard of my truck, were they sat in the sun for two weeks they dried great no mold.
