What determines how much a person is bothered by capsicum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal exposure: Capsicum is a naturally produced irritant that plants produce to protect themselves. It has been adopted to spice up foods by humans and is a desirable feature in many cultures. The degree of tolerance is based a little on personal biology, and a lot on exposure and culture.
