I knew a bloke who used to do that trick as an attention getting
thing. When we went for a curry meal he would order the hottest dish
on the menu and then ask for a bowl of chillies on the side. He would
munch, seeds and all, on these with apparent joy and offer them around
to anybody who wanted to play the game. He never showed any signs of
distress or drank large amounts of fluids, yogurt etc. A real Iron
Man or so it seemed.

His girlfriend told me that the day after these performances he used
to suffer agonies for hours so in the interests of science I used to
egg him on to eat more. He proved that people will go through hell if
they think it will enhance their creds.

i was disappointed to read recently dr karl "debunking" the myth of (what we
call in our family) curry-bottom - i.e. the misery one can experience while
on the loo the day after eating something unusually hot. dr karl is mostly
right but sometimes wrong - everyone _i_ know thinks he's totally wrong on
this one. the only way to avoid curry-bottom is to eat it every day so your
tender parts are used to it, otherwise you _will_ get the good old "ring of
fire". like your friend ;-)

I've never suffered from this problem, and my eating of hot food is now
occasional.

Do you use very soft TP?

people can be different - it doesn't mean curry-bum doesn't exist :-)

next you'll be telling me you don't get after-grog-bog, either g

yuck no. there is only ONE toilet paper in the world - safe recycled
unbleached (the lovely brown one).

i must admit to wondering why you are asking this though!!

Wondering if you had a more sensitive bottom!

well, now here is a subject that interests me ;-) (other readers may wish to
avert their eyes).

the very _reason_ i use safe recycled unbleached is because i'm seemingly
allergic to everything else. the papers that cause the most horror and
discomfort are those dreadful modern super-soft ones (which essentially
dissolve on contact & are generally ghastly - and useless anyway ;-). those
are bad. down with those!!!!

not sure if you are old enough to recall - but do you remember the school
toilet paper of years past? it was like waxed paper, only harder and less
absorbent. a person could do themselves a serious injury!

how the tough girls at high school managed to manufacture toilet paper bombs
from it to throw onto the toilet block ceiling is an absolute mystery to me.
the damn stuff was waterproof.

getting slightly back onto the subject at hand - the peeps in the study dr
karl cited had haemorrhoids but no evidence of curry bum. i just don't
believe it.

LOL. I use it because it's cheap, soft enough and recycled.

Oh you HAD toilet paper, did you? Our school mysteriously discovered TP after
the outgoing Year 12 mentioned at their speech day that they had thought that
a big box of TP would be the best present they could give the school, but they
eventually opted for something more traditional. So when i was in Year 12, a
short length of chain appeared in the loos, padlocked to the wall, with a
maximum of two rolls appearing on it per day. In a school of ~900.

g'day kylie,

i've eaten some pretty hot dishes at times curry/chilly types sinuses
ran like a tap eye's watered but never the ring of fire syndrome.

reckon the sufferer might look to other issues ie.,. maybe not
drinking enough water in their daily regime?? might be time for a
medical check of some sort??

but no the ROF is just a humurous anicdote.

No it is not. Because 1/2 a bottle of chillies in 1 day will on occassion
produce it. Less frequent the more often the chillies are consumed. Chookie
