I come from an Italian house hold and grew up eating lots of hot foods. I thought I could take on any thing hot. However yesterday I ate a habanero pepper and I freaked out. I don't expect to eat one of these bad boys and after wards feel no heat at all but what are some ways I can build up my heat tolerance and what are the risks of eating a lot of hot food?

I like hot Banana peppers on bread and butter. You can get accustomed to it . I believe they are slightly addictive. Habanero's are simply to hot don't bother with them. To the best of my knowledge there is no health risk in eating hot stuff.

start with low scoville peppers like jalapeno's/banana peppers in food then work self up to the higher stuff if you like it, the worst that can happen is a volcano erupts in bowels and the burning lava comes out if body cannot handle it.

The best way to increase your tolerance is exposure....I have used a frank's red hot sauce for a long time but after awhile it lost its kick,so I stepped it up to Frank's red hot xtra sauce and it was a little strong at first but now the heat is down to a level similar to the regular hot sauce. As far as health risks go I don't think there are many,some folks may have trouble breathing when exposed to very hot stuff when they are not used to it,the only other thing is that if you eat a lot of real hot stuff often enough it may burn on the way out....LOL
