“They’re really intense, like the worst headache ever, and maximal severity right at the onset,”

Professor Parsons said.

“It can make you collapse or pass out with the intensity. It’s like being hit in the back of the head with a cricket bat.

When the Carolina Reaper snacker went to the emergency room, brain scans ruled out bleeding. What they did show was that several arteries had narrowed — a phenomenon called vasoconstriction or vasospasm.

This is the first time a case is reporting after eating chilli. Although it’s very rare beware of too much chilli.
