I indulged on quite a bit of cayenne powder last nite. Store bought stuff of course. And wow, when I go to the bathroom today, it burns my exit. And then, I stumbled on this aritcle...
"If pepper is taken by the non-user, its burning may be felt in the stomach. It may even result in diarrhea. When it passes out with the stools on the same of the following day, the non-user experiences the same irritation and burning in the rectum that he experienced in the mouth and throat when he ate the pepper. If it is habitually employed, nature is compelled to thicken and harden the membrane of the mouth, throat, stomach, intestine and colon to protect these against its influence.”
