A man in China who had been suffering from a cough for over a year had a chilli pepper stuck in his lung.
The man who had been suffering sleepless nights and a persistant cough was found to have had the chilli pepper lodged in his lung the whole time, it turns out he'd choked on it a year ago but hadn't realised the pepper was still inside.
Wang Yuxiang from Longjiang county visited his local hospital to treat his year-long cough, but doctors soon found the cause to be something rather unusual.

I wonder if it was deseeded. Could have sprouted a couple of seedlings in the nice, warm environment of the lung. Not to mention full of sunlight.

They don't need it to sprout, warmth and moisture is all they desire.

I found 3/4 of a partially eaten cheeseburger under a guy's belly fold once. Very attractive odor. No, I'm not joking.
