I know a lot of people who can eat really strong peppers. The burn in your mouth turns to numbness pretty quick after a while. The burn in your gut goes away after a couple of minutes and it actually improves your digestion and speeds up your metabolism. My lower back pain has gone away. The end burn is very temporary. Capsaicin depletes neurons of the ability to transmit pain and gives you an adrenaline rush so it is a little addictive.
