You probably already know this, but just in case you don't, as it sounds
important:
Not all hot peppers are red. Some ripen gold, yellow, brown or purple;
others are normally used at a green stage. Some sweet peppers are red.
My guess is that you're reacting to the heat compounds (capsaicins), and
that you would react to green (or other color) hot peppers and not to
red sweet ones; but that's just a guess.
