      People with red hair have significantly higher tolerance to pain killers and anaesthetic, and typically need more to achieve the same effect as other people

      Yes! What @MetaSynapse@kbin.social said. My Boyo is only visibly red in the beard, but most painkillers and anaesthetics don’t work in expected ways. To the extent of waking up on the operating table.
