A co-worker of mine has this problem, even when just eating some mild to medium hot chili. What causes it, and is there a solution?

I sweat and get a runny nose. Spicy food is a great way to open my sinuses since they are always blocked.

The spicy food is sensed not just by the taste buds, but also the sensors for pain & irritation.
For instance, if accidentally, u touch inside ur nose, or outside the corner of your mouth, it will cause burning sensation.

It's the capsaisin in the peppers that causes the sweating. The only solution is to stop eating them, but to cool the heat on your taste buds he should drink milk and not water or other beverages.

Capsaisan in the peppers causes endorphins in the body to be released and the chemicals cause an increase in the internal body temperature.

The body may not be to withstand the heat build up in the body by the spicy food taken into the body.

It's the capsicum in the chili. It's very good for you. It cleans your blood and system.
