Black pepper is a kind of peeper I love to use in my meals a lot and I like it because it has health benefits like helping one lose weight and preventing cancer but it also has bad effects on the body.

Personally I noticed that black pepper gives me stomach upset because of the heat from it  and it give me diarrhea because I visit the toilet a lot after consuming some food.

It can cause irritation on the skin if it mistakely drop on the skin.

It can badly affect the eyes if one mistakely used the hand used in handling it on the eyes.

So if one is taking black pepper, it should be done in moderation to enjoy it better.
