everybody handles chemicals differently, especially if your referring to drugs, they affect everyone differently, because they affect your brain which is very unique
I worked as a nurse for a zillion years. My experience in the ER and also in a physician's office has been that yes, redheads are more sensitive to just about everything than their blond or brunette counterparts. For some reason, their skin is more sensitive, they have stronger reactions to medications, if they have allergies, it's more likely that the respond in a more violent manner than others. I'm not sure why that's so ... and my exposure is just that, mine, but I used to always watch redheads more carefullly if they were prescribed a medication they'd not had before.
