I -think- this can be filed under hot pepper use. If not, sorry for posting to the wrong forum. Am curious to know if anyone else uses hot peppers topically. Years ago, wife gave me some topical capsicum ointment from the drug store to address neuropathy pain. Worked OK, but flipping a super hot inside out and rubbing it on helps a lot more.
On the hands / fingers, I use it on the back side so that if I touch something sensitive I do not get hurt. My feet are so nerve dead, that I do the same for the bottoms if I do not have sores.
Have heard people use bee stings for the same purpose but the idea of killing something for a wee bit of pain relief just kind of seems wrong.
