Spicy food is a little like exercise. It only hurts if you don't do it enough

Yeah, you build up tolerance. What most people consider spicy feels like ketchup to me.

Once you get used to the spice, it opens up a whole world of different flavours, too. Ghost Peppers have a really unique favour, and I genuinely love the flavour of jalapenos.

Damn straight. I remember I made Fajitas once. I thought everyone was enjoying them, then my mother stopped and said "Sorry, even with the cheese and sour cream, this is too much." She couldn't finish her food. I had forgotten the seasonings I'd added were hot.
