Medical contraindications for using Hot Sauce as disciplinary action: "Hot-saucing" a child's tongue can cause choking, and burn the mouth, esophagus and stomach. "Hot-saucing" children’s tongue/mouth is legally abuse in Virginia. Carleton Kendrick, a family therapist from Boston, MA, recommends against the use of ‘Hot saucing.’ He said that it can burn the child's esophagus and cause their tongue to swell. This can create a potential choking hazard. He said: "There are many different kinds of hot sauce on the market, and parents who say they know the dilution to use so it won't sting, or say they only use one drop, are wrong. It's done because it hurts. It stings. It burns. It makes you nauseous." Hot Saucing as Discipline Increasing
