I`ve eaten a few hot peppers recently and have started to notice not only slightly different forms of heat, for instance, annuum sting vs chinense burn, but also a difference between heat and pain in the superhot category. So far, when I`ve had both extreme heat and pain together (Douglah x Butch T) I`ve experienced a big endorphin rush that made me very shaky and light headed. On a couple of occasions this short endorphon rush (5-10 minutes) was followed by a period of feeling very laid back and mellow, a real high in other words. 30-45 minutes for the Madballz 7, 90-120 mins for the Douglah x Butch T.Â

Today I ate 2 Nagas and for me they weren't that hot, but they were quite painful. I experienced zero endorphins, as best I can tell, but I have had a good 20-25 minute high. As a biologist, I find that very interesting.Â

I`ll look into pain vs heat perception and see what I can find, but I suspect it`s very complicated!
