I used to be in the same position as you Martin, but then I moved to  
Europe and its weather dulled my perspective sufficiently well enough  
that, now and then, I just love to bite a hard pepper, give myself a  
mule-kick to the head, and change the condition of my body for a few  
hours.  Its a big pick-me-up, and I think the concentration of Vitamin  
C helps a great deal towards feeling healthy again.
