Serendipity! I was just thinking about this, so I searched and found this thread...

YES. I tried some hot sauce on my chicken last week (which I hadn't done in quite some time) and for several hours afterward, my feet burned as bad/worse than before I stopped the burning with R-Lipoic Acid.

It didn't occur to me until the next day, so I waited a week and tried it again - same result.

The good news is that it was only temporary ~8 hrs, then dissipated. Gone the next day.

I've had nightshades from time to time with no reaction, so I'm pegging this to the capsaicin in the hot sauce (doggonit - I really like hot sauce! )
