Ya know I thought this was a no-brainer till I ran it through Google.  Ya
eat the heat/Ya suffer the consequences. All the dot/EDU's & Harvard & Yale
& State .EDU  stuff had my brain a spinnin'. Spent the rest of suppertime
digesting the following/all of which contain the words "trigeminal cells" &
are pepper sites:

PS As much as I hate to start a controversy, is it "irritates" or
"stimulates"? Will let Merriam-Webster call it:

Entry Word: irritate
Function: verb
Text: to excite to angry annoyance <his rude interruptions really irritated
her>
Synonyms aggravate, burn (up), exasperate, gall, get, grate, huff, inflame,
nettle, peeve, pique, provoke, put out, rile, roil; ANNOY

Entry Word: stimulate
Function: verb
Text: 1
Synonyms PROVOKE 4, excite, galvanize, innervate, innerve, motivate, move,
pique, quicken, rouse
Related Word enliven, vivify; activate, dynamize, energize, vitalize
Idioms build a fire under, get one started (or moving)

My opinion.....irriatate (Synonyms aggravate, burn (up), )    wins.
