Fellow Chileheads,

I had to de-lurk to give you the bad news.  The April 14 issue of Science
has an article about a mouse that has been genetically modified to not have
the capsaicin receptor; it "no longer avoids the spicy Habanero pepper".  As
if ground hogs weren't enough, now we have to protect our plants from mice.
What is this world coming to?

back to lurking....
