Can you die from eating a ghost pepper? Yes, you could die from ingesting ghost peppers, but you'd need to eat a lot of them at once. Researchers have determined a 150-pound (68-kilogram) person would need to eat 3 pounds (1.3 kilograms) of ghost peppers to die.

host pepper seeds can take three weeks or longer to germinate. Before planting, soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide for a minute to increase germination success. Then, plant them in moist seed-starting mix that is between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It's critical to keep the temperature and moisture level consistent.

Most of us must start our own plants indoors about 8-10 weeks before transplanting, which should be done 2-3 weeks after the expected last frost. Most pepper seeds sprout in about a week at a temperature of 70-80 degrees F., but germination can be spotty depending on variety.
