I can tolerate spicy foods and enjoy a good hot salsa but that was the last time I ate a habanero. I don't remember getting sores but I wouldn't doubt that it's possible.
Habanero's are great for cooking, but I would never be insane enough to eat one straight. Just a little hint the best way to calm things down if food is too spicy is to chase sugar with water. Milk products just coat it, but sugar water neutralizes it.
