I just got a note from the customer who buys 99% and Habanero 750 that I 
mentioned this morning (the chilehead geek). He keeps having to step up the 
heat in order to get the same effect and is wondering whether there's an 
end in site. He writes:

Well, I've definitely gotten resistant to the stuff....

* One drop of Habanero 750 on a cracker...no reaction.
* Another drop on another cracker...nothing.
* Another...nothing.
* Two drops on a cracker...finally some heat, but not much (no
   more than I associated with 99% a month or two ago, and it
   only lasted about 15 seconds).  But I definitely got a lot
   more of that flavor....  Yumm!

Oh, and two drops in 3.75 oz of 99% was definitely not enough.

Strange, eh?  Is there a point where your body just decides to
stop reacting to capsaicin (sp?) completely?  Does the tongue
just get bored with it?  :-)

Tell the guy that made the Habanero 750 to step up the heat a bit
on the new one.  ;-}
