They immediately start treating trapped victims who would have otherwise suffocated waiting for ambulances.

The Wow Moment
A parent who accidentally left their sleeping baby in the car while rushing into a store receives a phone notification they miss, then a car alarm they ignores, but when the wasabi capsule hits—aching their eyes, shocking their nose, flooding their body with adrenaline—they sprint back to the car within seconds, baby safe, because biology doesn't have a snooze button.
