Spicy heat is enjoyable for many people, but everyone has a point where it’s too much. Beyond a certain heat level, food becomes difficult to eat. Usually, excessive heat is associated with more extreme chili peppers (like habaneros and ghost peppers), but food with too much black pepper or ginger can be too hot as well.
