Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Capsaicin, released as a fine spray when you bite into foods that contain it, triggers heat receptors in the skin, tricking the nervous system into thinking you’re overheating. In response, your brain cranks up all of your body’s cooling mechanisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -It turns out that capsaicin-the active ingredient in spicy food-binds to a special class of vanilloid receptor inside our mouth called VR1 receptors. After capsaicin binds to these receptors, the sensory neuron is depolarized, and it sends along a signal indicating the presence of spicy stimuli.
