“Numbing Hot” Spicy Chinese Soup Burns Hole in Mans Stomach

I love the spicy, but not when it causes gastric ulcers so severe, that it burns/breaks a hole in the lining of the stomach. Doctors at a hospital in Wuhan, China, were scratching their heads when a 26-year-old man with no history of gastrointestinal disorders was brought in after eating soup so spicy that it
