	A good point. I think we need to speak more specifically if possible...

	True, I'm probably being inexact. I checked with her again last night,
and she says bell peppers give her stomach cramps and diarrhea, and the
oil would irritate her skin. She's had no such reaction from chilies. On
the other hand, she hasn't seen a doctor concerning it either.

	Hang on to it until we figure out whether or not it's a real allergy. I
wouldn't want to take your money if I haven't earned it...
