That's more likely to be the capsaicin than the pH.
You learn something new every day, thanks.

I know off people who've improved arthritis by avoiding all capsicums (tomatoes, peppers chillies).Have a friend that if she ingests capsicum gets D & V within minutes. Usually lasts a couple of hours and then she's fine.
Slaughter at the bridge: Uncovering a colossal Bronze Age battle
About 3200 years ago, two armies clashed at a river crossing near the Baltic Sea. The confrontation can’t be found in any history books—the written word didn’t become common in these parts for another 2000 years—but this was no skirmish between local clans. Thousands of warriors came together in a brutal struggle, perhaps fought on a single day, using weapons crafted from wood, flint, and bronze, a metal that was then the height of military technology.

Didn't you think that was one of those 'this time-consuming experiment won't prove anything but will look good on TV' type of things? Otherwise, a very good documentary, with the adorable Alice Roberts.They build a house of similar structure then set it alight to see how quickly it burns.

EDIT Incidentally, along with Flag Fen that's two impressive bronze age sites within a short distance of Peterborough, an area which has been going downhill ever since that time.
Whereabouts did you live, if you don't mind me asking?It started going downhill when I was living there, 16 years ago.
But these finds are good for the local economy, I think.
I moved about and over the years lived in different locations. Netherton, near Lincoln road etc.Whereabouts did you live, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm in Walton just off Lincoln Road. It's a small internet! It hasn't improved since you left.I moved about and over the years lived in different locations. Netherton, near Lincoln road etc.
I'm not that old...It would have been brill if mytho had said he had a place near the water but it burned down!

Still, kudos for your excellent bronze metal-working skills.I'm not that old...

2,000 year old warrior armour made of reindeer antlers found on the Arctic Circle
By The Siberian Times reporter
16 March 2017
Ceremonial suit was embellished with decorations and left as a sacrifice for the gods by ancient bear cult polar people, say archeologists.
The discovery is the oldest evidence of armour found in the north of western Siberia, and was located at the rich Ust-Polui site, dating to between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
Earlier discoveries at the site indicate a bear cult among these ancient people.
Archeologist Andrey Gusev, from the Scientific Research Centre of the Arctic in Salekhard, said the plates of armour found at the site are all made from reindeer antlers.
METAL detectorists have uncovered a hoard of spear heads and sword parts more than 2,800 years old.
A total of 13 items including five socketed axes, four leaf sword shafts, two axe heads and a pair of spear heads were found in the “Barnard Castle area” in August last year.
