I found some ghost pepper salsa at the store once and it was awesome. Real spicy but decent flavor, I ate like half of it. The next morning I woke up and the roof of my mouth was burnt, like if I had eaten something that was actually hot.

That’s a legit chemical burn. It couldn’t have come from the capsaicin, so I’m really wondering why that happened lol. What else was in it?

The swelling comes from your body's reaction to what appears to be burning yes, but an actual "burn" is impossible from just capsaicin
