[CH] thick tongues

Greetings all,

Evidently, there was a bit on one of the local TV networks that sounds like
it should be confirmed. I didn't have the joy of seeing this program myself,
but someone who did tells me the consequences of eating too many chiles was
expounded to all. Apparenlty, in reaction to all that heat, the skin of the
tongue is supposed to thicken and this impairs to some agree our sense of
taste. This sounds like a bunch of compost to me. I may occasionally say
things that are calous, but I don't believe I have calouses on my tongue.
