Here is an odd addiction, and I'm wondering if there is anybody else that has it. I am somewhat of a masochist when it comes to eating, and I am literally addicted to hot peppers. Like, there aren't too many people I know who would dare to chew down a raw jalapeno.
There was once this hot dog vendor many years back, and I had to be about six or seven years old, and this dude sold "macho dogs." A macho dog, if you don't know, is a hot dog with mustard, relish, and topped off with some hot peppers. It tasted really good, and I found myself addicted to hot food after that.
Now, I eat everything hot. I add hot pepper sprinkles to soup. I prefer potato chips red hot. I even found myself opening the refrigerator many times, staring at how peppers and having to open the jar and gulp one down.
It gets a bit stranger. About seven years back or so, I found myself in Tijuana. They all love hot food down there. This waiter served us nachos with dip that was supposed to be extra hot. Well, my parents don't eat hot food like I do, so it was mostly left to me. I gulped down nacho after nacho, and the waiter came over and asked me how I could eat all that so fast. I just told him, "I don't really know. It's like I've eaten hot food all my life, and it's just does not seem as hot as it used to." This was from a Mexican who must himself love hot food.

Yes, me exactly. Actually, with the way they f****d up my digestive system, I am pretty sure I am allergic too. I had awful GI symptoms the same day and the next day with tons of extremely foul-smelling diarrhea, stomach aches, migraine headaches, and anxiety. But it didn't stop me from gorging myself even more on such things. I actually told myself that all the disruption was getting rid of parasites. Lulz
Have you ever heard of allergy-addiction syndrome? I think I have it with both dairy and hot peppers, as well as gluten to some extent, though I'm not sure if I'm allergic to the latter. God, I so loved living in China in Korea Town and eating the hottest food, just pouring pepper and bean sauce on my food, but I regressed something awful in my ASD when I was over there. I wondered why super hot girls weren't hitting on me left and right when I left like they were at the beginning; this may be the reason. lol

I've developed a compulsive addiction to shrimp, tuna, and even fish oil now. I wonder if I'm allergic to them too.
