IIRC, it's genetic. Some people have a gene that produces an enzyme that breaks down capsaicin.

Edit: it might actually be a gut bacteria thing, I don't remember

    Is there a way to take this enzyme as a supplement so you don't get the butt burn even if you don't have the gene? I'm thinking like those pills for lactose-intolerant people. I love spicy food but fire poops can eat a dick.
