Marilyn, Just a quick anecdote. A friend at work (she's on maternity leave now) in her fourth and fifth month was ravenous for chiles. She'd come to the lunchroom when I ate lunch and do serious damage to my Hab powder and El Yucateco. We'd have a great time sitting at the lunch table, blowing our noses and wiping our brows. Then, quite suddenly, she lost all desire for spicy food. She's of East Indian heritage and is used to a considerable level of heat. She's been back once to show off the new baby, but I was too busy making baby noises to ask her if her taste for the fire had returned yet. Keep the faith! This too shall pass.
