Resiniferatoxin has entered the chat: 16,000,000,000 SHU
Wishing you a smooth recovery!
Damn I haven't heard of this,
That's insane, but I wonder if it would be similar to 16,000,000 if it's safe to eat.
I have found once you broach the 5m SHU mark I can't tell the difference except in the effects on my stomach.
Though 16billion is a huge leap
Probably not undiluted:
Though since it is so potent, it sounds like you can still taste it well below the toxic concentration.
