<> Yes - me too! Occasionally I get it from other thick-fleshed chiles like jalapenos. I'd say it's more indigestion. The red ones are even worse, even one little speck and I taste it all day. And I thought I was the only one.... (warm thoughts toward chileheads list...) But I don't find hot chiles to be a cure. ps - tamarinds with chile to be mailed soon - I have a big midterm Monday and am also grading papers for the class I teach... Erica
