Aww.. you're just being a little bitch, like pretty much 99% of people. Anyone can get used to higher and higher capsaicin levels... all you have to do is be able to withstand the intermediate pain levels, which get less and less per a given % of capsaicin. In fact, after a point, it becomes euphoric!
I started out, much as the rest of you, thinking medium Taco Bell sauce was "spicy". Follow that with a couple of years with getting aquainted with some actually nice tasting "hot sauce" from my local pepper store, and I started to actually appreciate the Heat.
Of course, this all brings one to the Dark Side. I now dump copious quantities of Dave's Private Reserve hot sauce (400,000 Scovilles) into any chili I eat, and when I want a real rush, I do toothpick tips of Da Bomb, The Final Answer (1.5 Million Scovilles) I pretty much can't detect heat in habaneros. Can't find a Thai joint that'll actually make stuff hot enough.
On the other hand, it sounds like this 10 hab a day treatment might be just up my alley. Woot!
