Hi there CH's. Don't laugh, but the other day I got tangled up in my mates
seat belt, getting out of the car. Fell rather heavilly in the road, landing
in a very undignified way on my knees. Ouch!
Having trouble now with pain, etc. Last night I had had enough, so I dug out
one of my precious Habaneros, put on a rubber glove and tore the Hab into
pieces. Rubbed it into my knees really hard until I was left with only the
skin. (of the Hab). I was sure it would burn, but no, I felt only a warm
tingling. But I didn't get the relief I was after. Maybe I needed an oil
base or something to enable the Capsaicin to penetrate? I would have been
better off spreading that Hab on a slice of toast and eating it.
Anyone got any facts that might make applying Habs for pain a bit more
productive? I could sure do with some sound advice on those lines. Hottest
regards to one and all. Walt. CH#2218. An old Chile-Head from the old
