    we discuss an unusual exposure of capsaicin to the vaginal mucosa with successful treatment.

    Before I read any further, I’d just like to point out my supreme confusion at how a respirator might help in this situation. I first imagined a patient in an urgent care being prescribed a respirator to treat their nightmarish groin pain.

    Edit: by god, they must have been screaming from the speculum. I nearly audibly screamed as I read through this. What fresh, undeserved horror this person lived through.

      My point is peppers are used in pepper spray. Respirator because you may be especially sensitive. People actually die from reaction to capsaicin.
