As far as I am concerned my own sense of taste is actually assisted by 
regular doses of our favorite fruits.  The only time I can say that my taste 
has been impaired has been when I overindulged in something way out of my 
league or used a hotsauce that was too heavy in the vinegar taste.

Maybe the capsicum opens some pores(?) in our tongue? I don't know, but Im 
not going to stop eating chile peppers either.

Just my two cents!
