yeah there's definitely a correlation between temperature and diseases/infection.

it's well known for example that the Thai and Spanish people all eat very spicy food because it disinfects the body from the inside out. Which reduces diseases. That only works for bacteria though, not viruses.

    It was a joke, but the joke was that capsaicin causes ulcers.

    It's actually a common myth, it seems. Whoops. :p
