Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Can you
hurt yourself eating chilli peppers?
Like hot
and spicy meals? The hotter the food is, the severer the pain or sensation you
feel is. But some people who regularly eat very spicy and hot foods seem to
feel not pain but pleasure.
When a
spicy object is taken, it activates neurons that are responsible for feeling
pain. Whether the pain pleases or scorches the eater seems to depend on how
regularly they ate such food when they were young. That’s because neurons,
which sense pain, are worn out if they are repeatedly set off, and they don’t
grow back.
Now you
know why some people enjoy very spicy dishes than others.
But why are
there hot and spicy things in nature like peppers?
Enjoy
reading and learning what hot and spicy means to you.
