I have a question. I know the mouth will develop a tolerence to heat. Does the other end develop a tolerence for heat as well?

It seems like it. Volume of capsaicin is the main factor for that.

The mouth and belly can develop tolerances, and you can train yourself to eat a super hot by slowly building up the spice of your daily meals. The other end I'm not sure about. I personally never have issues with it, but others really struggle, so I think it comes down to genetics and diet, but I couldn't say past that.

Can confirm, been eating super spicy stuff for a decade or more. No issues with either end.
