Another cool phenomenon is that when you massively set off TRPV1 with capsaicin burning the mouth or the nostril, somatostatin is released into your entire body and these TRP receptors get temporarily desensitized. I think the term is called "counterirritation". It doesn't work for me anymore, so perhaps the short-term relief led to longer-term sensitization.
