    If you are seeing new growth, then it will, absolutely, recover. Peppers are very resilient, and will take quite a bit of damage. You can cut off the brown part, or leave it, as it will clean itself eventually. I would recommend caging it, though. This will prevent another attack from deer.

    I can't find any research on the subject, and am unaware of anything like this ever occurring.

    I can offer some solutions as to what may have happened, though.

    When trying both peppers, in order to get a good indication of its heat, you should taste a seed of each. This will give you a good indication of the heat of the peppers. The tip, alone if bitten, may not be hot at all. This means that the heat won't be noticed until you eat more of the pepper.

    Another guess is that maybe the heat differs between peppers. Even with the same variety, there can be quite a difference in how much heat each individual pepper will produce.

    WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you for your feedback. I remember handling this issue! CalMag is a wonderfully quick acting product, and is considerably more expensive than Dolomitic lime. This is why I always recommend the lime, however, this is a faster way to cure your plants, although more expensive.

    I'm glad that they are going well, now!

    There is no known cure for active infections of yellow mottle virus or mosaic virus. The best you can do is to prevent the disease from spreading and infecting healthy plants and new plantings. Control the insect pest vectors with preventive spraying of repellent insecticide like neem oil and build soil fertility. Nutrient density helps plants resist pests and diseases.
