How long does chilli stay in your system?

The good news? That mouth-on-fire feeling only lasts for a limited amount of time. Because the sensation of heat and pain is from a chemical reaction, it will eventually fade once the capsaicin molecules neutralize and stop binding to the receptors. Typically, this takes about 20 minutes, Currie said.

So the world’s hottest peppers won’t actually harm healthy people. Right?

You might still be wondering, how hot is too hot? Can eating too much spicy food harm you? The answer is...yes and no. Theoretically, spicy food could seriously hurt you at high enough levels — but your body probably wouldn’t let that happen. You would have to keep eating extremely hot food, past the point of sweating, shaking, vomiting, and maybe feeling like you’ll pass out. So it’s safe to say spicy food won’t kill you. Perhaps you’ve heard the stories of people getting hurt during hot pepper–eating contests, which seem like terrifying cautionary tales for spice lovers. There’s the 34-year-old man who suffered from a rare thunderclap headache and had constricted blood vessels in his brain after eating a Carolina Reaper. Then we have the 47-year-old who went to the hospital with a spontaneous esophageal rupture or “Boerhaave syndrome,” after eating a ghost pepper. But there’s no need to panic. According to the experts, these cases are rare. Not to mention, both of these people were participating in chili pepper–eating contests, noshing on stuff beyond a reasonable level of spiciness and at an unusually high quantity and rate. Most of us aren’t scarfing down record-hot peppers against the clock. But if you are participating in a contest, be mindful of your body and stop if you start to feel sick. The only group Currie actively warns not to eat his hottest peppers is children, especially if they are under the age of 8 or not used to spicy food. “They do not understand what’s going on with their bodies and it can be very frightening or traumatic and keep them from learning about culinary pleasures in the future,” Currie said. So why does spicy food still send some adults to the hospital? The fiery effects of capsaicin in the body can feel pretty shocking, or even scary. The throat-burning sensations might even feel similar to an allergic reaction, prompting some people to fear that they are going into anaphylactic shock (which won’t happen, unless you have a rare capsaicin allergy). There have been claims of extremely hot peppers causing people to feel numb or hallucinate. Even if you know that the pain will go away after a period of time, it can still be a horrible experience. So yes, people may end up seeking medical care when the heat feels unbearable.

What happens at the hospital? Not much, according to the experts. People may receive some IV fluids or cold towels to help their body cool down, but otherwise, it’s mostly a waiting game. This applies to people who have eaten hot peppers and those who have...well, received oral sex from someone who has eaten very hot peppers. Yes, that is a thing. In general, it’s not a good idea to get capsaicin anywhere near your genitals — whether it’s from your own hands or the mouth of someone else. And keep it out of your eyes, too. So it’s important to use caution and be careful with chili peppers or other very spicy foods. Wear plastic gloves while handling and preparing peppers, and after carefully removing them, wash your hands with soap before touching anything, especially your face. You might need eye goggles too — like the ones you wore in chemistry class — if you’re cutting or blending peppers that are high on the SHU scale, said Currie. If you know you can’t tolerate spicy food or it causes you to vomit or feel horrible, don’t eat it or use your discretion. But if the worst happens and you accidentally eat a hotter-than-normal meal or a fiery pepper, try to stay calm — the burning sensation will pass.
