Ginger news, part one

Ouch! That hurt.

Yes, that's right. While we may have special powers, ginger people can still hurt. In fact, it seems that we can hurt a lot more than non-gingers. I don't really see how that's fair, but it does at least mean that we're sensitive, no matter what people may say.

Dr Edwin Liem, from the University of Louisville, Kentucky, recently found that ginger women between the age of 19 and 40 are more likely to undergo a heightened level of autonomic response when receiving the same amount of an inhaled anaesthetic as a non-ginger test group.

It is believed that mutations within the melanocortin 1 receptor responsible for ginger hair could also be at the root of the increased sensitivity to pain.

This really doesn't seem fair? Have I not already had to suffer enough for my hair?
