When you eat spicy food, does your scalp sweat?!


Question:

When you eat spicy food, does your scalp sweat?

When I eat spicy foods, the top of my scalp instantly sweats..in fact..if I hold a hot pepper in my fingers, my scalp will sweat. Also, I'm bald on the top of my scalp, and was wondering if anyone has the same symptoms. My thinking it is some rare eating disorder and I'm trying to correlate baldness with the head sweating (clogging pores) Anyone share anything?


Answers:

Everyone does. It is a reaction to the chemical in the food. In nature, this is the food's (usually peppers) defense against being eaten by causing negative side effects, pain and sweating, that we as humans enjoy to an extent.
