We have been contacted over the years with some strange uses for the ground peppers and pepper sauces: Please keep in mind we are not responsible for any damage or injury if you try any of these. They are ways we have heard our customers using the products in other ways than intended by the makers. We will take no responsibility for any outcome. Some of our products are the world's hottest peppers and can be very dangerous! Do NOT try at home and proceed with caution:
