I'd like some nice, cool hot cocoa. It has a more pronounced flavor than plain milk, I think... I wonder if it would help to dull the spiciness for a bit longer, because your taste buds are still processing the flavor of the cocoa?
Wait... "cool" hot cocoa. Ooops -- I just said an oxymoron! Y'all get what I mean, though, right?

One time I put cayenne pepper and ginger and cinnamon and a few other other random things in my hot cocoa and I did it to my tea once too lol

That show only gives 3 options.
Actually, we tried that last night. We didn't have milk but my son and I drank some half and half. It MAY have helped a bit.

The key I have experimented with milk was the swish it around while scraping tongue against the upper teeth..... Very effective.

The swish is truly imperative. Just drinking it does virtually nothing.

I used to do that till I read milk was better a while ago lol

It is. This is why it's used to help neutralize pepper spray.

Also one of the reasons why ranch or other dairy based dressings are served with hot items, like hot wings.

While traveling on business I stopped into a Cracker Barrel to get some lunch. Immediately upon entry to the restaurant, I was stopped by an employee and told that I needed a mask.

I asked her please to back up a bit and keep distance and asked to speak with the manager. At this point a number of people waiting in line began to look at me.

The employee scurried off and a manager soon arrived. I was safely distancing myself from all other people and asked that the manager keep her distance, which she did.

I then explained that I had a medical condition, HYPERCAPNIA. She asked what that I was and I explained it to her. She then said that I still needed a mask, it was the law...to which I replied that it is a "mandate" not a "law" unless she wanted the full force of the Judicial System down on her company for a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I suggest she seat me. I did suggest she make a phone call to her manager to confirm.

A few minutes later, she returned and promptly seated me. A few patrons actually clapped. I hope someone got this on film and posts it on YouTube!

you took the time to explain your situation, and didn't intrude on anyone's personal space. Civility won out. But I wonder if a server refused to serve you for their own sense of safety, would that have been allowed?

I doubt it. I think the law is pretty clear about discrimination of any kind.

Things to ponder...Can an employer refuse to serve a person with HIV? Or refuse to serve a group of young black men dressed like thugs because they fear for their safety?

No.

But on second thought, that's logic speaking. Since the world has gone crazy, I am uncertain that legal precedent and the rule of law matters much anymore...

it's a whole new world

Which medical code does Hypercapnia fall under that distinguishes it as a true disability versus just a medical condition? There is a difference. If you don't have a code, plus the qualifying medical paperwork, and have gone through the process...citing the ADA as a threat is an insult to people with real disabilities all over this country.
