Does water make spicy food worse? Water on the other hand? It's a polar substance and it will just spread the capsaicin around your mouth making the heat even worse. So until you've built up your spicy food tolerance, reach for some milk and not water to help handle the heat. How do you absorb spiciness? Acidic ingredients such as lemon or lime juice, vinegar, wine, tomatoes, and even pineapple will all help to neutralize the pH levels of a spicy oil, and reduce some of that flaming-hot flavor.
Add the juice of half a lemon or lime, or a tablespoon or two of wine, vinegar, or tomato sauce, to your over-spiced dish. How long does capsaicin last? Can spicy food kill you?
So yes, eating extremely spicy food can indeed hurt you. What is the hottest chilli in the world?

For those who need or want to avoid dairy, don't fret! You've got an option, too: acid. Remember how we said capsaicin is an alkaline molecule? Balancing it with an acid can help neutralize the molecule's activity. This means drinking or eating something acidic — such as lemonade, limeade, orange juice or a tomato-based food item or drink — may also help cool your mouth down.
Milk is also acidic, by the way. DO down some carbs. Starches are filling for a few reasons, one of which being that they typically come with a lot of physical volume. The volume that a starchy food brings can also be advantageous while eating spicy foods since it can help act as a physical barrier between capsaicin and your mouth. To put some starch between this sneaky molecule and your pain receptors, try eating a piece of bread, some rice or a tortilla.
His colleague was also seized with pain despite his efforts, and both had to go to the hospital.
