Sounds like he had a severe allergic reaction to the peppers, since it says he started itching. Crazy stuff.

This is a good teaching lesson for all since it was pointed out that it was a severe allergic reaction. Anyone want to expand on the type of reaction it was, what took place at the cellular level, what manifestations a person would exhibit, and how would it be treated? Tis said to see someone pass away from a food allergy. This can be a serious problem in young children with peanut/tree nut allergies.
