What are three specific reasons determining the cause of death can sometimes be difficult?
Why the Cause of Death Could Be Difficult to DetermineDetermining cause of death is difficult when:1. The body has not been recovered.2. The body suffered transformation after death (e.g. by fire, mutilation, scavengers or immersion in certain chemicals) that obscures traces of the cause of death3. The death took place sufficiently long before the remains (e.g. skeleton) are discovered that clues to the cause of death are largely or completely obliterated.In the case of homicide it may not be easy to determine the cause of death if the murderer has used a toxin that leaves little trace.There can be multiple abnormalities that may lead you in the wrong direction.
How does tongue detect spiciness?
There is not an actual 'spicy' taste bud. When you get oils from a chilli pepper on you hands it starts to burn quickly, this is similar to what happens to your tongue. Capsaicin, the chemical that produces the sensation of spiciness is damaging some of the nerves at the surface of the tongue. Hence, someone who eats spicy food regularly will grow a tolerance for even spicier foods as the nerves on the tongue have become 'numb' to capsaicin.
