to the op, trinidad scorpions are extremely hot peppers. please be very careful handling them, cutting them and especially eating them. wear gloves and eye protection, juices on your fingers will remain hot for days. soap and water does not wash off capsicum the chemical that contains the heat or in this case fire. eating a TS raw can cause respiratory problems (as another mentioned i forgot that when i posted) and even cooking them can do that as well. the ONLY thing that will mitigate the burning in your mouth is diary products like sour cream, yogurt, milk be sure to have something near by if you eat peppers that you are unfamiliar with! seriously peppers in the SHU range of TS and similar peppers are extremely hot and actually dangerous. unless you have experience eating hot peppers that are at least in the 100,000 to 500,000 SHU range i suggest you avoid peppers that are called super hots which is where the TS is.
