@p @teknomunk Damn, that's a real puzzle piece moment. Very sound.

@TrevorGoodchild @teknomunk I lived in Arkansas a few years, and at some point after I got some of the crazy sauces, I stopped getting bitten by mosquitoes, I could walk through a cloud of them. I didn't put it together until maybe ten years ago, I wiped some sweat from my forehead and my eyes started burning like I'd gotten hot sauce in them, I realize it's probably in my skin oil, I run out of the office demanding that she come over and lick my forehead (this was abrupt so it took some convincing). Mystery solved: summer rolls around, the animals get covered in fleas, I don't notice because the fleas don't touch me, but they're eating the lady alive, diet is nearly identical other than the excessive amount of hot sauce, I get her to start eating the stuff consistently, the bugs start to ignore her. All the really strong peppers come from malaria-infested jungles, and this is both sides of the world: Central/South America, Southeast Asia and Africa. I don't know of any serious studies, but it at least stands to reason, and I have anecdotal evidence.

@p @saunders @teknomunk @TactlessWookie Chronic inflammation in any organ system is detrimental. With epithelial tissues (mouth/larynx/lungs in smokers, skin in those overexposed to UV rays) it manifests as cancer. With regards to the nervous system, the story is a bit more complicated. For decades we've known that the brains of Alzheimer's patients had classic pathologic features at autopsy: β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Now we're starting to realize that these findings are caused by a sustained intracranial immune inflammatory response in Alzheimer's patients.
Interestingly, chronic neuronal inflammation has been connected to Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy as well.

@saunders @teknomunk @TactlessWookie @TrevorGoodchild This is interesting.

@p @teknomunk @TactlessWookie @TrevorGoodchild
Alzheimer's, they're starting to think, is inflammatory.
-
@TactlessWookie @teknomunk @TrevorGoodchild There's a theory that has been gradually getting more popular that cancer is an inflammatory disease; I wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow related.
-
@TrevorGoodchild @p @teknomunk Also, there are studies of societies where many hot things are eaten. Low rates of cancers as well as other "modern" maladies.

@TrevorGoodchild @p @saunders @teknomunk @TactlessWookie Beginning to look like β-amyloid is a symptom and not a cause.
