Is it harmful to consume too much black pepper?!


Question: I'm a big fan of putting black pepper on most anything. While there seems to be plenty of info on excessive use of salt, can't seem to find anything on overindulgence of the pepper type.

nah! If it is not causing you indigestion or something, then enjoy! I make a rub out of black pepper soaked in Vodka for a few months, It feels great on sore muscles or on tired feet.
