Gavin eats the world's hottest pepper
KevlarIf you're going to eat the world's hottest pepper, you should probably know how to pronounce Scoville (from Scoville unit). Just sayin'.
Don't give your ferret jalapenos
omnithropeActually, sugar (in a solution of water) kills heat in peppers, not milk. Scoville figured this out and it's now the basis for Scoville Units, the unit of measurement for "heat" in peppers.
From Wikipedia:
Scoville's original method for testing hotness was called the Scoville Organoleptic Test, which he developed in 1912. As originally devised, a solution of the pepper extract is diluted in sugar water until the "heat" is no longer detectable to a panel of (usually five) tasters; the degree of dilution gives its measure on the Scoville scale.
Sorry, Arvana, I had a ferret and it's just painful watching the little guy. Downvote not personal.
