    I am an American in my 40s and I’ve never encountered it either. I eat a lot of Mexican food and a lot of spicy food from different cultures as well, so maybe I’m just acclimated? I feel like for some of these people the spiciest food they ever eat is taco bell and it just destroys them.

      Same. I don’t eat a ton of spicy food but when I do everything’s normal afterward.

        I didn’t think it was real, I thought it was just a joke. But then again trump is president so I guess people are eating as smart as they vote
