Hot food does it again!

Story here.

As if you needed any excuses to eat chillis anyway, but still, for those still unconvinced ;-)

No, I think the case is that large quantities of chillies cure you of having a mouth/tongue/throat/oesophagus/stomach/bowel/anus/rectum...

That's me buggered then :-(

If capsaicin does kill off cancerous cells, it's probably the ghee and other things causing it ;-)

I once went to the loo after cutting some seriously hot evil little south asian chillis, the type which should come with biohazard warnings. I actually got blisters on my fingers from them later ;-)

Unfortunately I hadn't washed my hands properly before going to the bathroom.

Hours of excruciating pain with an additional bizzare side effect caused by the increased blood flow. You can imagine what that was. Suffice to say I could carry the tray with no hands afterwards...
