Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?

In some cases, it may be linked to Frey's syndrome, which occurs when nerve damage affects the parotid gland, causing sweating instead of salivation during meals. This can happen after surgery or trauma to the face. If sweating is excessive or bothersome, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable for potential treatments.

Sweating on your face after eating spicy food is often due to gustatory sweating, a condition where the body reacts to food by sweating, particularly in the facial area. This response can be triggered by the rise in body temperature from consuming spicy foods.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?
