Depends. Sometimes my nose just runs a little. If it's really hot then I sweat and drink everything around me.

used to be only for the primo spicy stuff--back when we were making undiluted Jerk chicken (Walker's straight from Jamaica, sitll the hottest, most flavorful sauce/marinade/spice I've ever had)

as I've gotten older, I sweat with lesser spicy foods. Even if I don't feel the hot so much.

Only if it is exceptionally spicy and then just on my brow.

Thai style Asian food won't do it, but habanero seasoned Mexican food/wings will do it.

"Do you swear when you eat spicy foods?"

Did anyone else read it like this?

I can't handle most spice very well, and even when I can eat it I sweat. Taco Bell mild sauce is enough to moisten the head, and anything more gets it rolling down my body.

No, but I get a runny nose when ever I eat something hot or spicy =/

I don't sweat, but sometimes my scalp will start to itch if I'm eating something really spicy. Some of the hotter pickled whole japapenos will also make my throat swell after eating a few as well, which I attribute to either a mild allergy or reaction to the capsaicin.

they look like this on the bush.. greener when less ripe though. they're quite small, usually. There are mild ones, and really hot ones.
