Is eating chilli in excess bad for you?

[Toleman]

I've become some-what of a chillihead recently and im wondering if its bad for me. I grow my own mainly hot varieties such as habanero's and nagas. My tollerence has become quite high and i can quite easilly eat scotch bonnets whole - the endorphin rush is brilliant.

I eat chillis everyday weather being hot dishes or adding hot sauces to food.

Thanks, Chris

I would assume after somewhile it would do some damage to the stomach lining!!

I would have thought that chilly is good for you, providing you have a healthy digestive system. Plenty of vitamin A etc.
