…my butthole keeps burning but I never learn. It’s so damn delicious.

Can spicy food actually cause physical damage? Burns? Infections?

I remember how painful it was when I did my pepper spray examination. The teacher dropped a few droplets onto one of my closed eyes and then they told me to blink. It felt like somebody was trying to dig out my eyeball with a fistful of lit cigarettes. With a scoville level of 5 300 000, that’s not surprising…

    Eating Shin that was too hot for me is how I ended up building up my now robust spice tolerance from next to nothing. I’d have to go through two liters of water with each batch though when I first started.

    If you want an easier time though consider getting a less spicy one from the same company (nongashim) because everything they make is great and then add an appropriate amount of spicy chilli oil to it (like laoganma) or just use cayenne pepper powder if you can’t get any. You will get a more customizable spice level and you will get to try all sorts of other good flavors of ramen!

    Hope this helps! Cheers!
