Spicy Feet?

Cayenne pepper reduces the stickyness of blood platelets. It has been used as an herbal treatment for bad circulation. Sprinkle some on your feet before sticking them in a very tight boot and in theory it should keep your feet warmer. Has anyone else heard this?

Like Shadows, I saw this in Skiing magazine. I have never heard of it before, though.

I'm going to test it when the snow comes, and then I will report.

While you're at it.. sprinkle some down your drawers. Maybe it'll keep the basement warm.

Let us know.

I know this seems like common sense, but be careful not to get it anywhere you dont want it. If you rub your eye, or take a piss afterwards and spread the pepper it will ruin your day for sure.
