the capsaicin could be the reason humans starting eating the painful fruit in the first place. Lead author Joshua Tewksbury says back before there was refrigeration, people probably used the peppers when they found that spicy stews were less likely to make them sick.
could this be the reason the thais do not get sick when they eat pork or chicken that has been sweating in the sun for a few days, or the rotten fish that they are so fond of?
makes sense.
