I've done the encapsulate and eat thing a bunch of times. Sometimes it worked fine, other times it's felt like I had Draino coursing through my guts (even after puking if it doesn't all come up) and ruined the trip.
These days I just powder the flesh and leave it soaking in tall plastic cylinders (spaghetti noodle Tupperware) in the fridge for days (shaking every once in a while). The slime sediment falls to the bottom, then I siphon off the non-slimy layer on top over and over with a turkey baster until the water is clear (which I take as a sign most of the alkaloids are probably in the tea I've separated) and I've got quarts of cold greenish brown tea. That gets boiled down to a drinkable amount. It takes a long time this way but you largely avoid drinking slime this way and there's no trying to squeeze hot snot through a t-shirts or any of that mess. It's actually a lot less work for a more palatable end product. You've got to be careful when taking the cylinders out of the fridge because if you agitate the mixture too much it'll stir bits of slime up into the watery layer on top -- though you can just run the tea through a t-shirt if any slimy bits do get into it, too.
This way reduces a lot of the nausea and stomach pain that can come with ingesting the snot.
