Default What makes it hot?

Are there any cases where intake of jalapenos can result in sensitivity to
heat in the extremities? Thumb, and 2 adjacent fingers on left hand have
become sensitive to heat for reason not apparent to me. First sensation is
a coldness, then, hypersensitive heat sensation when around high heat like
BBQ etc. Noticed this yesterday.

sounds like either a nerve damage problem or a case of someone taking
medications that state "do not be in sunlight or areas of direct heat".
that is a precaution warning (not exact statement, but close enough)
on several 'normal' medications, ie some blood pressure meds, muscle
relaxers and diabetic meds, just to name a few

but like cheryl said, sounds like something for a doctor to hear..........
