Agreed. I love hot food, but I don't eat it anymore. Peppers are very bad to me. But not nearly as bad as eggplant. Nightshades are legitimately toxic.

- klodolph 10y agoWell, most nightshades are toxic, and some people are allergic to all nightshades. But it's not correct to say that "nightshades are toxic".
- bch 10y agoSo no tomatoes, potatoes, or bell peppers for you either?
- ibejoeb 10y agoRight. I had to change my entire diet. Potato without the skins, though, is pretty tolerable.
- spacemanmatt 10y agoYeah, the whole solanum family increase reflux in a lot of people, some worse than others. I save my allowance for spicy peppers, and simply don't miss aubergines, potatoes (I eat yams instead), tomatoes, and perhaps related, I'm extremely tobacco-sensitive.
- dvtv75 10y agoCuriously, I can't eat yams. When I do, I often end up with some kind of nasty burn on my tongue. I have the same response to citrus fruits (my favourites), and sweet-and-sour sauces.
