  But I understand that if you get an overdose of capsaicin, you could get
severe respiratory problems from the shock, among other symptoms. Not that
the capsaicin itself would cause the respiratory problems, but how it affects
pain receptors.

  A friend of mine gets severe hiccups if he eats too much chili in one go
(and believe me, he can eat a lot).
