Sue- Sneezing is definitely a side-effect of inhaling chile powder- especially hab powder. I read somewhere that there was a research team that sedated people with bad sinuses and sprayed capsaicin into the sinus cavities. There was a significant improvement in their conditions and severity of sinus infections that lasted 6 months or more. I think it has been discussed on the CH List. I'd like to sign up.
