Extracted from the Euphorbia resinifera (a Moroccan cactus-like plant), this chemical is 1,000 times hotter than pure capsaicin. It binds to the exact same heat and pain receptors in the human body as peppers do, but it is so overwhelmingly toxic that microscopic amounts can inflict agonizing pain or permanent nerve damage. It is heavily utilized in medical laboratory research to study pain management and target chronic pain neurons.
