Conclusion 

Milk could be a solution to eating spicy-foods literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle Capscaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away
