Well… it‘s also killing humans, so… plan worked ig?
It is not meant to ward off predators though. Being eaten is the goal, thats how the seeds are scattered.
It is to ward off mammals. Their goal is to be eaten by birds, birds can’t taste capsaicin, so it’s just normal food. And birds distribute the seeds.
I eat a lot of pepper and I never poop out seeds. Nerd.
Not to get all up in your business but wow, you’re being really lazy and disrupting the circle of life here buddy. You should poop more seeds.
