Dave, I don't understand you not getting use to it. I started with one drop in a tablespoon of omega 3 oil and over the year that I've been taking it have worked up to 4 drops in the tablespoon of oil and don't even pay attention to the heat anymore. In the beginning the 1 drop made me feel like a fire breathing dragon. My grandson started with 1 drop and has told me lately that he doesn't feel it all any more. He's considering going to 2 drops.
