Spicy is perceived by the same receptors as the feelings hot and/or pain. But is this just some “trickery” of the receptors or does spicy food do actual damage? And if it doesn’t do actual damage: Why do people sometimes still throw up because of it (if it was too much)?

Think of it this way. You have heat sensors in your mouth, which send you “ow this is hot” signals when you put something hot in your mouth so you don’t burn yourself.
Spicy things are hackers that hack into your heat sensors and make them send “Ow this is hot” signals, but nothing is actually happening, the sensors are just reporting lies.
