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)?

The chemical fills a hole in our receptors that tells your brain that you are on fire.
Our “receptors” are very weird, the fact a chemical could trick your body into thinking it is on fire is quite strange. It was not a strategy but rather a random mutation of chemicals in a plant of South America.
The fact remains that you think you are on fire.
