Capsaicin is soluble in alcohol, which can be used to clean contaminated items. [28] When capsaicin is ingested, cold milk may be an effective way to relieve the burning sensation due to caseins in milk, and the water of milk acts as a surfactant, allowing the capsaicin to form an emulsion with it.

[6] Some substances such as nitric oxide and glutamate are in fact essential for proper function of the body and only exert neurotoxic effects at excessive ...
A number of vanilloids, most notably capsaicin, bind to the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor, an ion channel which naturally responds to noxious stimuli such as high temperatures and acidic pH. [1] This action is responsible for the burning sensation experienced after eating spicy peppers.
“The existing evidence suggests that this compound can cause liver, developmental, blood and endocrine effects in the human body,” Jamie Alan, ...
