Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 Yes, I know but I do not have that kind of courage. Just thought I would perhaps try using it in my food and see if it has any effect. Can't hurt (I hope).

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 Even when I would put capsaicin on my knees or when I tried to put it on my back from Fibromyalgia pain, I was in such severe pain from it even after I washed it off that I could hardly stand it. I cannot imagine putting it in the vulvar region. There is nothing that would induce me to do that. Possibly I have an allergy to it but it really lays me low on regular skin without thinking of mucous membranes. Please be careful.
