Anaesthetic for gingers?

I am sure I once read that ginger haired people need 25% more anaesthetic to knock them out for operations than non-gingers. Have I imagined this?..

Answers:
No you didn't imagine it. Apparently red-haired people are much more sensitive to pain.

yes wake up my boy
I have never heard of that. Anaesthetic is given according to the weight you are. When you go into hospital they always take your weight for this purpose. The bigger you are, the bigger the dose
yes i heard that
it was in the papers quite recently
i have that that ginger haired people are less sensitive to pain than other hair colours.
Ginger haired persons have what is known as a defective gene.an abnormality in there DNA causes many different reactions on each individual 'ginger' ranging from a bad temper to mental problems,(learning difficulties and/or immaturity).
