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

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.

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.

Trump is shot, tackled by SS agents, yet then stands, defiant, with fist high, and 52 hours later, walks into the Republican Convention to thunderous applause. Is there anything that can stop this man, who loves his country? Does he get your vote?
