Desensitization based on routine is all there is to "handling spice". It is neither an achievement nor an ability. Anyone can get used to it by starting from small amounts and slowly increasing the spice level. Also, there are many spices, chili is only one of them.
It's great for stomach troubles, arthritis though.
I love chili, I just don´t like the glorification of desensitizing ones taste.
Tbf, I've rarely had a chili that wasn't mild, unless I or a neighbor who likes it hot made it. You may want to avoid certain salsas (red or green) at restaurants and bodegas where actual ethnic Latin Americans eat, if you're not into spicy, though.
It was a joke, mark. A Christmas joke.
