Better dead than red

[sigma7]

A growing body of research shows that people with red hair need larger doses of anesthesia and often are resistant to local pain blockers like Novocaine. As a result, redheads tend to be particularly nervous about dental procedures and are twice as likely to avoid going to the dentist as people with other hair colors, according to new research published in The Journal of the American Dental Association.

Funny thing is I'm certainly resistant to pain medication, especially Novocaine, though my hair's pretty brown. My facial hair certainly has a reddish tinge, though certainly not to the extent of the classic redhead. daethkow? redmonster? Any other fire-tressed souls care to weigh in?
