Q: Dave,
I know that peppers produce varying degrees of heat, as indicative on the Scoville scale. But is there any information on what type of pepper produces a specific reaction? I am looking for a sauce/pepper that invokes sweat as opposed to a mouth burn.

A: Hello Manny:
It doesn’t really work that way. Different people react differently to various chiles. Nearly all hot chiles will burn the mouth, but sweating varies by individuals, as does hiccuping.
