Spicy Food & The "Ring of Fire"

What is it (nerve endings? tender skin?) that makes the “O-Ring” burn when you’re sitting on the toilet after eating a spicy-hot meal?

And would anyone have any “home remedies” for the future prevention of this phenom?

In the words of Cheech Marin: “C’mon, Ice cream!”

I think the medical term is “wolf-ass”.

I guess it’s simply the hot stuff (capsaicin) irritating the flesh around the ol’ poop chute.

I’ll close this thread because the topic has been discussed so recently. I direct any further comments to the earlier thread, Why does Mexican food make my ass burn?
