Bill, IT DEFINITELY DOES AT BOTH LEVELS!! Habanero Peppers have at the VERY LEAST -- 250,000 Heat Units!
Since you have Asthma, you may want to read my Newsletter on this particular Auto-Immune System Dysfunction.
I was going to recommend Dr. Schuze's Nerve Regeneration Formula, that the F.D.A. BANNED him from making and selling, for your Nervous System Dysfunction, but I see that you FOUND my Web-Page.
I'm REALLY GLAD to see that you're VERY RESOURCEFUL and taking CHARGE of your Health!!
You're VERY WELCOME, Bill!!
