I have been near-deathly ill for the past week. I have a wicked cough (for which my docter prescribed a gel-cap, NOT a syrup) and a nasty little sinus infection. So my diet has consisted of meds, OJ and Jalapenos. Yes, jalapenos. For almost one week straight my son and I have dined on bean burritos, turky tacos, nacho salads and pinto beans-all covered in hot and spicy jalapenos. This is mainly because right before I fell ill I prepared a ton of food. So, I had all this food prepared and I was way too sick to cook anything else. So I have serrano, habenero and green chile peppers are coming through my pores right now. I never lost my appetite once this past week. I'm still coughing up a storm but I'm sooooo hungry.......

That's awful! I feel that if you're going to be sick - the least that mother nature can do is make you not hungry for a few days.

Hope ya feel better soon. Maybe the peppers will burn the sickness out of you.

For really serious diseases, I recommend by-passing the jalapenos and moving directly to the haberneros. I you survive the first 24 hours, you can be safely assured that any microbes did not.
Get well.

Thanks everybody! I'm feeling much better now but still not 100% yet.
I finally laid off of the peppers. Thanks for the well wishes.
