Someone who is addicted to spicy food is often humorously referred to as a "chilihead." This term describes individuals who have a strong preference for, or tolerance of, spicy flavors and seek out hot foods. While there's no formal medical term for this specific addiction, the behavior can be linked to the pleasurable effects of capsaicin, the active component in chili peppers that triggers the release of endorphins.
