I sweat so much when munching on green chillies

Why do I sweat so much when munching on those nasty green creatures? They're tasty in instant noodles but the amount of sweat produced is almost unforgivable. I don't want the sweat to plant pimples on my face but I can't help myself. They taste heavenly when munching on their green wondrous fragile like-bodies. Do you sweat the same when eating green chillies?

    I suggest you find and try the Scotch Bonnet variety of pepper. They are pretty tasty peppers and do make one sweat a bit, too.
    Caution however; cooks who prepare them, not only wear latex gloves, they oil their hands before putting on the gloves in case they leak.

    it's like taking a shower if I try to eat things like that . I can't do the spicy food anymore especially since my tummy issues but sometimes you do crave a hot item off the menu! try hatched chili's with cream cheese and bacon on the BBQ ..tasty way to eat them!

    Heheh, yeah sometimes I sweat, mostly on my scalp, when I eat spicy stuff. Sometimes I have to take a napkin and mop it on the whole top of my head and it gets soaked. The capsaicin in peppers stimulate the polymodal nociceptors, which are the same receptors that tell the body it's hot and calls for sweat to cool the skin.
