Answers: rather a silly question, but a very interesting one, why does ones nose run when eating a hot curry?

The fact that spicy foods cause runny noses is also a clear sign that your body needs to expel excess mucus. The properties of the spices do not cause your body to manufacture more mucus. Rather, they help the veins and arteries in your body to open up and begin to flush out elements that could eventually lead to blockages in your system. This natural phase of house cleaning helps to keep your body in much better operating condition. Spicy foods are nature’s way of allowing the body to perform general maintenance, ensuring fewer health issues and promoting quicker recovery.

Just because spicy foods cause runny noses does not mean that every time you have a spicy dish that your nose is going to run like a water faucet. Basically, if there isn’t much that needs to be expelled from the body, then there will not be much in the way of nose running. While it is true that no one is fond of having a runny nose, the fact is that many people report being able to breathe more clearly and feeling less head congestion after a plateful of hot Thai noodles and a few moments of wiping the nose. In short, the health benefits far outweigh the inconvenience of a couple moments of a runny nose.

Keep in mind that because spicy foods cause runny noses, your body is able to deal more effectively with maintaining a proper balance and you in turn enjoy a stronger sense of well being

i don't know but don't run after it too fast as you will get stitch after eating the curry

Easy.

The body is trying to flush out the hotness, and goes to such excessive lengths that water comes out of your nose...

Eye, nose, mouth are all connected.

The heat and spices from the curry serve to clear your sinuses. This works the same way by eating a pepper.
