    if the leaves are curling up as well , then the symptoms are most likely one of a variety of viral diseases that capsicums are sus to . including , believe or not , cigarette tobacco ( are you a smoker ?) any how that's your business but you'll need to remove the the plants that are showing the symptoms you describe -- because it will spread -- and you'll lose the lot .

    theres not a lot to combat the viral problem --- because it could be anything

    you need to embark on a garden sanitation program (i.e) get rid of weeds ( they house lots of viral problems ) no smoking , cut the bad stuff out , and maybe look at other varieties which are a bit more resistant to disease . good luck .
