Like nutmeg, pepper in large doses is poisonous (though one could really
say that about anything I guess).
A friend of mine suffered pepper-poisoning last year from her boyfriend's
over-enthusiastic attempt to make pepper steak. Not pleasant by all
accounts (think 'long telephone calls to god').

Interesting! Hadn't heard that tidbit, but I *did* read not too long ago,
in one of the several herb magazines I get, that studies done of late have
shown that pepper helps the nutrients in your food be absorbed by the body.
(My time has been short lately and I've only been able to read the list on a
hit or miss basis, so if someone has already mentioned this I appologise!)
