Apple cider vinegar is good for treating capsaicin burns. Ask my brother who opted to make pico de gallo barehanded.
How did your brother get capsaicin burns making pico de gallo?
Big batch involving cerrano peppers, with the seeds. He used his hands to mix it all together and neglected to wash his hands immediately after, thinking a towel was good enough.

I love spicy. I don't think I really started to dig spicy food until I was in my mid-twenties though. I will be seriously bummed if/when I have to stop eating spicy food as I get older which I guess is a thing that can happen.
The problem with junk food is that popular stuff sells, and super spicy food is a really niche product. So places like Taco Bell talk a good game with their Diablo Hail Satan Hot Sauce but it's really no different than Tabasco in terms of heat.
Like 90% of hot sauces invoke Satan or asskickings.

I have taken a liking to spicy food.
I generally enjoy every meal, within reason, with onions, Sriracha sauce & Tabasco-enhanced ketchup.
And that does basically nothing for me nowadays.
But this stuff?
Zombie Cajun "The Antidote" extra strength conversion Hot Sauce. Saving the world one less Zombie at a time. This is Zombie Cajun Hot Sauce on steroids for those that like it extra hot. This is a superior blend of Cayenne and Habanero Peppers that will fuel your need for extra heat. Rated a 10 out of 10 for heat.
The Antidote is really hot, but it wouldn't be considered an extreme hot, Hot Sauce. (One drop is not going to give you heart palpitations and make you consider a trip to the ER.) It is meant to be used and used often. It is made with fresh Cayenne and Habanero peppers for their flavor and their natural heat. Then we add just the right amount of Cajun seasoning to enhance the flavors. We never use extracts or concentrates to abnormally make our sauces hotter.
This stuff is probably the hottest sauce I've had yet. It will make my lips go numb, my nose runny and my eyes cry for 10-15 minutes after tasting it.

I find Taco Bell's diablo sauce to be way hotter than tabasco.
I put like an ounce of tabasco in the bottle of V8 I had in the fridge when I opened it. I had a glass with a sandwich the other day, and then my roommate was like, "Hey can I try some V8? I've never had it before and don't know what it tastes like." So I said yes, forgetting that she has ZERO tolerance for spicy things.
Two hours and 3 glasses of milk later, she was finally able to stop sweating profusely and wasn't red any more. Meanwhile, I was eating some 5 star pad thai like no big thang and getting super evil glares.
But fuck me if I can eat anything with horseradish. That stuff isn't really intended for human consumption.

My everyday hot sauce is Texas Pete's Hotter Hot Sauce, or Cholula if I feel like spending the money on it. For a really hot hot sauce, I like any of the Blair's Death sauces. The last one I had was the Salsa de la Muerte.
The little skull in the picture is part of a key chain. I've got a pretty good collection of them by now. If you don't like spicy food, stay far away from any of their products. The next step up would be getting into straight capsaicin extracts, which offer no flavor and just ridiculous amounts of pure heat.

Blair's Beyond Death sauce is a pretty great, if very spicy sauce. I love the bottle design too, it's so early '90s (which makes sense, it's supposed to be a revival from the early '90s):

How do you feel about the Dave's Insanity sauces, @jgeis? I've always thought they only brought heat and not enough flavor.
Man, I woke up with a huge craving to go to Village Inn and wreck some Country Fried Steak Skillet with Pancakes.
Getting all 2000 calories in one meal is advisable, right?
My breakfast consisted of two egg and cheese sandwiches, plus seasoned potato wedges covered in cheese and ketchup and a large glass of chocolate milk.
It is hot as fuck. This bowl of noodles is making me feel like a god damn baby.
I got a box of the cup version of these for work lunches, and tried one today.
They are actually hot enough that I can taste it, I quite like them.
Though the pic above makes me want to make some boiled eggs to toss in at the end.
I should note that most food I make is very spicy. My husband had some adjusting to do when we first moved in together.
I pretty much only use the noodles and the spicy powder with these. Crack a couple of eggs in at the right timing, put some veggies that don't need to be cooked a lot in at various timings.
Good snack.
@Mego Thor I currently have bottles of Dave's 2014 Reserve, Crazy Caribbean, and Roasted Garlic sauces in my fridge. I don't like their general hot sauces because they do lack flavor, but the Crazy Caribbean and Roasted Garlic have good flavor.
I'm kind of a hot sauce junkie. I usually have a variety of 10-15 bottles in my fridge at any one time. Some of my favorite hot sauces and ones that I would recommend for various uses are:
Melinda's Amarillo (great on hot dogs, roast/grilled pork)
Melinda's Garlic (great on pizza, seafood)
Valentina "Black Label" (my favorite general Mexican-style hot sauce)
Dave's Crazy Caribbean (for chicken, seafood)
Dave's Roasted Garlic (chicken, pizza)
El Yucateco XXXtra Hot "Original Mayan Recipe" (when I want extra heat on Mexican/Central American dishes)
Blair's Beyond Death (when I want to enjoy a good cry)
Swamp Gator (to add heat to BBQ meats)
I think everything I have to say about Applebees can be communicated by me saying I wish every Denny's had a bar.
Denny's is where you go to get SOBER.

I feel like there is a certain amount of macho bullshit to hot sauce. Yeah I like the flavour of various chillies and spices, and a little heat is good. When the food you are eating is causing you physical pain and causing respiratory problems, then you're just being silly.
I feel like any hotsauce that markets themselves on their heat as opposed to their flavour is probably not something I want to experience?

I like hot sauces that are very hot and cause some discomfort, but there is definitely an upper limit. Up to that limit I liken it to intense exercise. You work out really hard and then you end up with a runner's high and feel really great. I get the same response from hot sauce, it causes some momentary, minor discomfort and then I get an endorphin rush.
I would never want to eat something that caused me respiratory distress. That just sounds fuckin' dumb.

Make popcorn and dump tabasco or chili powder on it.

Yup (and I usually have a high tolerance for spicy food), but it's delicious!
But mostly as a goof because I am not actually a fan of hotsauce.
Though I am growing a healthy appreciation for spicy food.
If I wanted to broaden my spicy horizons what should I also look into?
Bhut jolokia.
