My anecdotal evidence, I couldn't smell or taste a thing for about 2 weeks, but I ate thai food constantly because I could at least feel the spice somewhat, it was dulled though, not 100%.

I eat thai food hot and love it. (scale=mild,medium,hot,thai hot)

but I wonder: it is me becoming strong and tolerant of hot... or my old body breaking down and having dull senses.

you do develop a tolerance to spiciness
