How does tongue detect spiciness?
There is not an actual 'spicy' taste bud. When you get oils from a chilli pepper on you hands it starts to burn quickly, this is similar to what happens to your tongue.

Hence, someone who eats spicy food regularly will grow a tolerance for even spicier foods as the nerves on the tongue have become 'numb' to capsaicin.
