Most irritants that are safe to eat aren’t water soluble. Even the few that fall into that exception get further neutered by the processes in your digestive system, from saliva to acid to enzymes. Your body carries chemicals around on your water based blood, so if a chemical survived all that and then got into the bloodstream, you’d have an unpleasant time right away.
