You just didn't go spicy enough! ๐ฌ
There's no such thing as "spicy enough"
I hit my threshold when I was in my late 40s. Just can't do what my friend refers to as "stunt peppers" anymore.
I've eaten ghost peppers, hard candies made from extracts made from California reapers, and this crazy octopus sauce my sister once got at an Asian market where a single drop in a pot of rice bordered on painful for me... And one time I accidentally put in a splash
None of that bothers me on the way out - capsaicin just doesn't bother me at all once it hits me stomach. But other things do... Grapefruit for instance
