I think if you try casting your eye down a little to "Related stories" - it's the first link there. Not too difficult.

Amazing stuff 

This could be huge, chilli's target pain sensors yet do no damage, so why not attach a painkiller along for the ride. Brilliant.

I read that theres a burning sensation until the painkiller kicks in that they want to get rid of, but i could live with that.

NO Ring Sting 

so if they add the X-whatever stuff to a fairly hot chilly stew you wont need to dread the next mornings toilet visit then.

What is wrong with peoples insides that spicy food causes burning and runs the next day?
