I lived in Chile for two years on church mission. I ate all kinds of peppers down there. I came home thinking I was tough stuff. My dad gave me a whole Habanero which I promptly popped in my mouth to show how cool I was. 1.5hrs later I was still in pain drinking milk, eating bread and even called poison control to ask for suggestions. I was an idiot.

this reminds me of a funny story, so allow me to go off topic for a sec:
back in my "petshop days" there was a friend I worked with (Joey) who was the "cool guy" type. He was really a good guy, just cocky. Well another friend, Tam, bet him $100 that he would not be able to do the "911 Challenge" at "Cluck U Chicken" over by Santa Clara University. Joey accepted, obviously.
After work, Tam, Joey, myself, Chris and Nic all went to Cluck U, ordered up and sat back to enjoy the show.
He was doing the whole "spicy ain't no thing" bs and building himself up by talking a good game the whole time... then the chicken arrived.
He did alright on the first of the 12 wings but the heat hit him right before he was able start on the second wing.
He did finish the second wing but only after Tam put the money in front of him. He suffered through every bite and then declared he had lost. Tam, being the nice guy that he is, decided to double down and put another hundred in front of Joey, convincing him to eat a third wing. When he finished that one he promptly ran to the bathroom to, uh, reject it.
Now we were all laughing our butts off but Chris thought he would try to capitalize on this. He asked how much if I eat one? Tam offered him $20 and Chris took the bait. He held it down long enough to get his money but joined Joey in the bathroom a few minutes later, while the rest of us enjoyed our regular chicken and lots of laughter.
But wait, there's more:
Now anyone who has tried the challenge (I have not, but watched many fail) will tell you that any spot the sauce gets on will burn like it was maced. This is true, I have seen people walk away from the challenge with red swollen spots all over their faces and hands. Bear that in mind when you read the next part.
The following day Joey's mom, Joey and Chris were going on a road trip, yes a road trip. Well somewhere along highway 5 the realized that what goes in must come out... and it will be just as hot.
Joeys mom said she could hear them screaming in the rest stop bathroom from the car. She also said they were limping, bow-legged, and dripping tears when they slowly made their way back to the car. She also said it was the same situation at 2 more rest stops.
That Monday, back at work, Joey told me and Tam the ENTIRE area around the, uh, exit looked like he had gotten poison oak. Man parts partially included. Tam and I had a hard time working after that because we were laughing so hard. When the boss asked what was going on, we told her and she started laughing. She promptly told her husband who also erupted in laughter.
I bet Joey won't do that again.
Ahh, good times.
