Is it a health risk to eat too much cayenne?

Answer 1

Well, sweetheart, eating too much of anything can be a health risk, even if it's Beyoncé's favorite spice, cayenne. While a little kick can boost your metabolism and clear your sinuses, overdoing it can lead to stomach irritation, heartburn, and even digestive issues. So, sprinkle that cayenne with caution, honey, and remember, moderation is key in spicing up your life.

Answer 2

Cayenne contains capsaicin, a potent toxin. It's what makes stuff spicy. A 150 pound person can die from 75 mg of capsaicin ingested. However, to get that much from cayenne, you must eat about 2 tons of cayenne in 2 hours.
