People with red hair are more sensitive to pain and consequently need more anaesthetic during operations than other patients, according to new research.

"Red hair is the first visible human trait, or phenotype, that is linked to anaesthetic requirement," says anaesthesiologist Edwin Liem, who conducted the research at the Outcomes Research Institute of the University of Louisville, US.

Sounds like a redheaded masochist is what I may need to be looking for!

What if I was born a redhead then turned blonde and then turned strawberry blonde and now am a fake redhead? The mind boggles.

Sounds like you're a switch... not that it relates to your question.

Yes, it's all that radiation affecting your brain and nervous system. Best let the red grow out.

NOOOOOO!!!!​

That is a hard limit!

Besides it is grey underneath, and I am far too young to be grey.

I know that story...all but the Strawberry part.

I was born strawberry blonde...turned red as I aged and I bleached a couple of years ago.

As for the topic...I'm told I have one hell of a pain threshold.

What if I was born a redhead then turned blonde and then turned strawberry blonde and now am a fake redhead? The mind boggles.

I have four brothers. Two of which are redheads. And a third has a red beard to go with his brown hair (YES, it's natural). So I can say with authority that red heads are a pain.
