let me guess the heat was to the front of the mouth? well maybe anyways.. I
went through the same reaction last year, but it is a different heat. we
seem to go through this each year.. the heat factor is different for each of
us as is the part of the mouth and throat.
Just to check things out when you have both a hab and a wax ripe at the same
time.. take a big old bite out of each.. then you'll know which is hottest..
