Question

when u eat something spicy and u cant resist that spicy thing and u keep on on eating it then after sometime u get drops i.e water in your noses i don t understand why?????please answer me

Answer 1

Capsicin is a chemical found in chillies.These chemicals when eaten in good amount end up not only causing a “hot” sensation on our tongue, but also irritate the mucous membranes in our nose, causing them to become inflamed. This triggers those membranes to produce extra amounts of mucous as a defence mechanism to try to keep out whatever unwanted substance or particles are causing the irritation. Our eyes may also become watery when we eat very spicy foods.
Hope this helps you! :)
