A member asked:
Can yrs of eating extremely spicy/sour foods cause damage to your taste buds? lately my buds don't detect sourness/spiciness as strongly as other ppl
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acclimatization: is more likely, not damage. When people from countries where spices are heavily used move to countries where they are not, they often experience shock when they visit home and are exposed again to spices. Your taste buds "turn over" all the time. So not to worry if one layer is damaged anyway.
