Dear D in D....go to your nearest and dearest market(NOT in the literal sense!)and buy a few, or more, Habs....take home, chomp one, or more down, and then see what transpires! The few times that I have had a problem feeling the heat of the peppers, I have done this, a couple of times in front of the clerks in the supermarket, and after that, all seems to be right again! Never mind yer diganitie....think of yer taster buds, Bud.....er....Buck!!! Cheers, Doug in BC Buck@dscclan.dscc.cc.tn.us wrote: > My heat tolerance has dropped to an embarassingly low level.
