Extra Credit MythBusters: Hot Chilli Cures

HOT CHILLI CURES

Tory is trying to hit the cactus-shaped pinata and Carry is standing aside when Brant comes. Brant asks what is going on. BOOM! The pinata breaks! Green Chilli Peppers are spread out on the table. Our audience asked us this question: Is there a cure for hot chilli mouths? I have an experiment w can do to answer this question. Both of you(Tory and Brant) have to be the victims. So after we eat the pepper past, do we eat something to cool it down, asks Tory. Yes, the cures are milk, water, toothpaste, beer and petroleum jelly. Petroleum Jelly? Is there a such thing? asks Tory. Brant hates chilli food, so he goes to a man called Dave Dewitts to learn about his enemy. Dave says that the tongue has a receptor part called capsaicin(I don't know the correct spelling). The capsaicin and chemical eactions start having a pain. That's why you feel your tongue is on fire. Then Brant asks Dave a question: Can you die from ating something too hot? Dave says yes; it would be from suffocation. Carry, Brant and Tory get ready for the chilli peppers. Carry, Brant and Tory sit down. Carry takes out a bowl of jalapeno peppers paste, 2 glasses of milk, a notebook and all the other Hot Chilli Cures. Tory and Brant eat a half-spoon of the paste and then swallow it. After 30 seconds, they drank milk. They told what they thought of how the cure workrd in numbers 1 to 10. They did that with 5 other cures. The best cure, as they thought in the beggining as a hypothesis, was milk.
Carry, when she was cutting the jalapenos, used blue gloves. That is one of the lab safety rules: WEAR GLOVES ON. Carry did break a rule. When she was mixing the peppers, she didn't have goggles on. The episode didn't exactly use science, but they did use some lab equipment.
