...family members were choking as if I had launched a chemical
gas attack upon them.
Seriously though I was making my own habanero hot sauce without gloves and goggles (which you need) and the toxins in the air produced by these angiosperms were practically lethal -- everyone was choking even though they had not eaten any.
My hot sauce recipe used carrots, vinegar and finely chopped habaneros boiled on the stove. It was delicious but dangerous -- must be respected during the prep and cooking process though. Next time I will use gloves and goggles. More on habaneros below:
