>>the mother chews up a mouthful of fiery red peppers and
water in her mouth, then she . . . blows this mixture up the baby's anus
(yes, with her mouth).  In a few minutes, the baby evacuates its bowels
completely, and pooping is over for that day.<<

Wouldn't blowing just about anything up their anuses cause them to poop?
