Cayenne pepper is generally not sterilizing. Chili peppers are rich in vitamin C and capsaicin, which have some nutritional value. But there is no clear evidence that there are chemicals in chili peppers that can sterilize, chili peppers as a food, not an antibacterial and anti-infective drugs, and can not directly play the role of sterilization. If you have a bacterial or viral infection, you should first have a checkup to determine the type of bacteria, and then choose antibiotics or medication according to the type of bacteria, rather than taking a certain food for treatment. If an infection occurs in your body, you should consult a doctor to avoid delaying treatment.
