As a Sichuanese, I can eat spicy food, especially red chili peppers, with bright colors and more appetite. Is it harmful to eat too much red pepper?

    Red peppers contain a chemical called capsaicin. In red pepper, capsaicin is the initiator of the spicy taste. Of course, eating a red pepper is not a problem, but if you eat too much to a certain amount, you may be in danger. This chemical is very powerful. People use them as paint removers or even pepper spray for police.
