I find that after years of eating hot food almost daily and making my own salsa with anything I grow including super hots that heat is very relative for me. I made some salsa this past weekend and I thought the heat was medium. My wife tried it and is still mad at me. She said it was like eating pepper spray, but I honestly cant believe that my taste buds have gone that heat-blind. Reminds me of the story a Spanish guy told me about how they put hot sauce in babies bottles in Mexico to get them used to hot foods. I dont know if that is true but it would make sense I guess.
