There is nothing wrong with adding a little kick and a little flavor to the foods that you make in your home. As long as you are careful and you make sure not to over season it with some cayenne pepper or some chili peppers, you should be OK. The biggest problem arises when people decide to start getting creative with their products and then they realize that maybe they went a little far in what they were doing with the spice rub. Sometimes it pays to read up on what you may be putting into your food and to know just how hot something may be. Adding a little spice and heat is one thing. Taking it to a new level where you have folks crying is something different.

Remember to read labels and to know what you are adding before simply throwing something in because it sounds interesting to try.
