I think that's kind of a myth when it comes to spicy food.
The wife is a redhead and does not tolerate spicy food at all.
Sometimes to a point when i don't even notice any hotness.
@fzer0@kaia@meso@mangeurdenuage Sorry for being a wiseass, but Capsaicin resistance is simply a matter of training. Eat chili often enough and you‘ll have pickled Bhut Jolokia as a snack at some point in time.
Romour has it that redheads have a higher tolerance for pain which is, afaik, not true.
They have a higher tolerance for pain medication which means they need more painkillers for the same effect.
