You're just snacking on individual habaneros? That's pretty hardcore.
I put some habaneros in my burger...and the burger was finished while I was still hungry. So yeah I just kept eating habaneros

So apparently when pickling peppers you need to heat it up -- I did not know this. I just decided that I had so many empty jars of banana and jalapeno pepper pickling juice that I'd get some habaneros and dunk them in there. After I already jarred them is when I bothered to google the process (lol).
So I put one jar in my hot water dispenser to try to heat it up that way. After about an hour I wanted to try it...and damn was it spicy. The juice was still hot, the peppers were warm, and I don't know if that was the reason, but it contributed to one of the weirdest spicy experiences. My whole body was sweating, I got a mild headache, and it was damn spicy.
Eating them after it cooled down resulted in normal spiciness. Does heating up hot sauces give them some sort of strange reaction?
tldr; heated up pickled habaneros, way crazier than normal
