Say Folks,

I asked a professor
at the Plant Pathology
department of Texas A&M
about the dangers of
chile mold. He spouted
out a few ten dollar
words about fungi and
said they may or may not
be toxic but that if they
are you'd probably have to
eat a pound to get sick.

He said he'd be more
concerned about the
toxicity of capsaicin that some
new research indicates may
be carcinogenic.

Most of my chiles I eat
fresh uncut at the table like
Serranos and Tabascos. Who knows
what may be hiding inside.HE HE
And who cares?
