The most common complaints are those related to digestive problems, such as painful bloating of the intestines, or diarrhea; next come gout attacks which give people so much pain they cannot walk. There are also patients with ulcers brought on by eating mala hotpot, and even diabetics in hyperglycemic shock due to excess blood sugar.
最多的是脹氣、腹瀉等消化不良症狀，其次是痛風發作、痛到無法走路，還有人吃麻辣鍋吃出胃潰瘍，甚至糖尿病病人因血糖驟升而休克。
