      There’s currently no reason to think any of that happened. Cause of death - unknown.

          Drop the ad hominem attacks.

          a sufficient dose will kill you

          Yes, a sufficient dose of anything generally does. What’s your point? The fact that millions of other people eat spicy foods at these levels and survive would indicate that no, this is not about the dose in general.

          Have you ever eaten anything spicy?

          I’m Asian. We inhale spicy food. No, I don’t recall Asians dying of eating something spicy. If they were sensitive (read: allergic), that’s on them to know their own allergies. We don’t blame peanut butter because people die after eating it.

          Covid was a new virus that popped up in 2019, chilli peppers are ingredients we’ve been cooking with for thousends of years. We’re well aware of their effects.

          Yes it’s a nuero-toxin, but it takes a lot to kill you. There’s sauces out there that are millions of scovilles higher than either of the chillis in these crisps, as they’re made with extracts and people eat them without dying all the time.

      It doesn warn if gastrointestinal diestess on the left if you look “abdomen attack”. The other stuff you have listed is nonsense and spicy food doesn’t cause that.
