These substances are also used to intentionally make your skin more photosensitive (There are some skin therapies where treatment is applied through UV-light).

Theoretically you can use them to quicken any tanning, but I guess dermatologists are happy that this isn't too widely known.


Makes me remember the time when I got like 2 kg of hot pepper. I cut it up small barehand (being very careful not to cut myself), and cooked some stew of it.

I gotta say, that was one of the best stews of my life. Also, after most of the burning went away about 8 hours later, it took only 3 extra days till I could use my hands again.
