I saw some buldak cheese version on sale so I got some and after 5 bites I’ve sweat the equivalent to half an olympic sized pool and starting to see aliens. Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

    It’s like people who drink. Your body develops a tolerance to spice and the capsaicin response gradually eases over time. Most people who enjoy spicy food are selective about the types of food they prefer to be spicy. It’s still about the flavour in the end and the heat just enhances that.
