You would die quicker.

Your bodies response to spice is that it thinks it is getting hotter (THINKS) so dilates your arteries to try and get rid of the excess heat that you don’t actually have.

I have always noticed that after spicy food I tend to sweat less when exercising because my body is losing heat faster due to the above.
