Warm thanks to Jukka "Fatalii" Kilpinen for adding to my chili pepper knowledge, for giving me the opportunity to visit his chili farm and greenhouses, and for his other assistance with the book.
The stream-of-consciousness fragments on pages 296–300 are based in large part on the spirit journey songs of Chukchi shamans Nuwat and Ukwun. The original texts can be found in Anna-Leena Siikala's book Suomalainen samanismi: Mielikuvien historiaa (Mythic Images and Shamanism: A Perspective on Kalevala Poetry, SKS, 1992).
The article on human sterilization excerpted on pages 223–225 is, with the exception of a very few word changes, taken from an actual article in the second April 1935 issue of Kotiliesi (Hearth and Home) magazine.
Wallenquist's Astronomy and the World Today is an actual book. The quote on page 303, however, is not actually taken from it.
The Transcendental Capsaicinophilic Society is a real, though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, group that can be found on the Internet. The "Litany Against Pain" is borrowed directly from the society.
Any errors, misconstructions, or other inaccuracies are naturally my own.
