On the other hand, last weekend I ate a pizza with some chillis on it.

First my throat was burning. Then my mouth was burning and my nose 
started to run. Then my *lips* started burning and my eyes were 
streaming. And by the time I finished the thing, my *stomach* felt numb! O_O

An entire TWO HOURS later, my lips, mouth, throat and stomach were still 
numb.

And to think Shelly asks for them to replace the chillis with jalipenos! 
Crazy woman!!
