I'm half Thai, and I grew up on very spicy food (yummy!). I remember helping my mom cook, and then absentmindedly rubbing my eyes after handling peppers. Ouch! (prolonged laying around and moaning). I learned my lesson after several (!) such unhappy experiences. :-) Even though I still eat spicy food, I don't think my tolerance for pepper in the eyes would be any greater than it was when I was little. At least I'm not very willing to test the above mentioned theory. -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
