RozzychanRozzychan@fandom.inkNov 8, 2026, 12:36 AMInteresting to see the molecules, but I always separated them by physiological reactions.
Piperine makes me sneeze, but it takes a lot to burn.
Capsaicin burns my mouth and lips.
Ginger helps clear my pharynx and throat.
Mustard goes straight up my nose and clears out my nasal hairs.
Sanshool bites the tip of my tongue.
And whatever is in haberneros can burn on the way out.
