Damn good thing, then. I eat spicy food that islanders complain is just needless heat, but I can't drink a cup of coffee until it cools for 20 minutes.
Heat and the neurotoxin known as capsicum have nothing in common. They cause a similar pain sensation, but that's like saying being bitten by rattlesnakes will kill your sensitivity to being stabbed in the chest. They're both a spikey, pokey pain, but if you're immune to rattlesnake venom, the sword will still hurt like hell. One is physical, one is bio/chemical.

Exactly my thoughts as well when I read that.
