Treatment after exposure

In the "Treatment after exposure" section: "Plain water is ineffective at removing capsaicin,[26] as are bleach, sodium metabisulfite and topical antacid suspensions.[citation needed] Capsaicin is soluble in alcohol, which can be used to clean contaminated items.[26]"

If this is a list of things that do not work to remove capsaicin, it seems like it should be a bigger list. If, on the other hand, it's been created for trolling purposes, it can probably be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:A499:B00:E1D6:EE30:DE4F:C385 (talk) 16:09, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed "sodium metabisulfite and topical antacid suspensions." because there is no source to verify, and it is garbage. Sodium metabisulfite is a reducing agent which would do nothing to help with treatment, but if there is a source that proves that it does help, then site it! What is even a "topical" antacid suspension? 65.28.255.165 (talk) 04:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vanillylamine or Vanillamine?

I am not sure that the term Vanillamine exists. The proper term is Vanillylamine. --kupirijo (talk) 20:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

inconsistent information

From the acticle: "Thus, capsaicin does not actually cause . . . .any direct tissue damage at all, when chili peppers are the source of exposure. . . . . In essence, the body inflames tissues as if it has undergone a burn or abrasion and the resulting inflammation can cause tissue damage in cases of extreme exposure, . . . ." Which is it? Can it cause tissue damage or not? If it excites the body to cause damage by secondary channels, it is still causal to that damage. 2603:7080:7440:66:4148:717B:C311:D6D7 (talk) 20:55, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not inconsistent. The human body reacts to capsaicin with inflammation, which then causes damage. The capsaicin itself doesn't cause the damage, it doesn't burn. If you were to place capsaicin on a dead enough corpse, enough hours from death, it wouldn't result in damage. The damage is an indirect effect. ---Lilach5 (לילך5) discuss 21:34, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Capsaicin reversibly damages tight junctions

In vitro research with doses far higher than would be consumed in a meal, and published in an unreliable MDPI journal suspected of predatory publishing practices - listed on WP:CITEWATCH. Unusable as a source. Zefr (talk) 17:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not so fast, even paper mill bashing can be wrong without looking deeper:

They use that effect for delivering drugs, too. -- SCIdude (talk) 17:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lab research, WP:MEDINVITRO. We don't use such studies to support encyclopedic content, especially if it implies physiological or pathological effects, which have high standards for verifiability. That's what WP:MEDRS is all about. Read it. Zefr (talk) 18:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The review I gave first is a secondary source from a non-paper mill journal satisfying WP:MEDRS, which you chose to ignore because of one of the references. Your handling of the matter is highly questionable. -- SCIdude (talk) 10:01, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
