Some people react to the polyphenols in fruits and veggies with vasodilation. This dilating effect allows blood to rush in to constricted areas, and the feeling is burning and pain.

This effect may wear off with time. And it doesn't happen to everyone.

I once knew a woman who had terrible headaches from tea (of all things). This is because she was very sensitive to the polyphenol content and had a dilation effect and hence the headache. It was only on one side of her head too.
