    This is another thing that I have wondered if genetics makes a difference kinda like the cilantro taste like soap thing.

    I have never experienced anus burn from spicy foods, but have from other things that upset my stomach. Menthol soap also feels excellent in places others say it doesn’t.

      I love spicy food, but not once have I ever had to consider what it will do to my brown eye. I definitely think genetics plays a role…

        It may well be that you loving spicy food is protecting you. I imagine the exit hole can develop a tolerance in just the same way that the entrance hole can

      I’m not sure but the ring of fire is the main reason I don’t like spicy food, I feel like I could tolerate the rest of it, but what it does to my insides and part of my outside, no way.
