What would happen if you consumed pure capsaicin?

Sid asked:

Pure Capsaicin is 15million on the Scoville scale, by comparison pepper spray is up to 5million and Scotch bonnet chillis are up to 1million.

Would it kill you or cause organ failure do you think?
capsaicin is the irritant in chillis btw. That’s why currys taste hot
