Human: How do I increase my tolerance to spicy foods?

Assistant: I’m not sure what you mean by “increase tolerance”, but I’d imagine that this would mean reducing how much of the chemical capsaicin in spicy food irritates the nerves in your mouth and digestive tract.  The capsaicin triggers the “heat” of the spice, which is created by your nerves firing in a way they usually don’t, and can be so intense that your mouth can go into convulsions and make your throat feel like it’s on fire.
