It almost always happens, sometimes to an extent where I can’t even put any more in my mouth! Why does this happen? What kind of chemistry and bonds are inolved? (Keep it like I’m 5)
In: Chemistry
Spicy food creates a reaction on the tongue which simulates a burning sensation…your body literally thinks that it is burning….now when food is hot it creates a synergistic effect with the spicyness where you actually are experience burning sensation along with the reaction from the spice.
Regarding the chemistry for this phenomenon….i don’t think that anyone could explain that to a 5 yr old.
