More sane decongestants aren't as hard on your cells. So it's possible you'll get longer, but still temporary, relief from capsaicin. But my guess isn't justified. So grain of salt and all.<br>

And you get desensitized to peppers pretty quick, I think. So eating ghost pepper 3 times a day ain't really gonna help. But, hey, if you enjoy it, do it.<br>
