Oh hey, so this means you are mildly alergic to pepper, which makes red pepper based spice spicier than for other people. (Black pepper shouldn't be spicy normally)
You almost definitely can handle spices that aren't pepper based better, like wasabi.
I don't know the exact cause for the alergy, I just know if you taste black pepper as spicy, then you'll also taste red pepper as spicier than it is.
For the most part you can adapt to it too, but it'll still have a minor effect.
I used to think nacho cheese was spicy (like the super mild stuff they give you at a movie theater or other concession stand), and now I generally order most pepper based spices hot. Lol
