Neurotoxicity on Humans

I'm adjusting the following section to make it not imply that it has been confirmed as a neurotoxin for humans:

"It is a chemical irritant and neurotoxin[6] for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact."

[6] is:

"Ritter S, Dinh TT (June 1990). "Capsaicin-induced neuronal degeneration in the brain and retina of preweanling rats". The Journal of Comparative Neurology. 296 (3): 447–461. doi:10.1002/cne.902960310. "

This study does not involve humans. Please do not revert this edit unless you are adding source for the human claim. Aveaoz (talk) 20:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
