The spicy reaction has to do with the chemical called capsaicin causing the sensation of heat in the mouth. The body interprets this as part of the body getting hotter, so to maintain homeostasis the sweat glands start to release sweat in order for the body to cool down. So the spicy food is fooling your body into thinking it's too hot. That's why people in hotter climates like spicy food, because it helps them stay cooler.
