That is possible.
My mom made chili that was off the scale spicy. It did not burn your mouth or tongue much, but the rest of the digestive path from you throat to the exit would get to enjoy that chili. She won the blue ribbon and gold medal at the State Fair of Oklahoma with that recipe.
When I was a youngun I could eat it with no discomfort. As I got older I had to have some Maalox right after a bowl of that chili. Damn it was good.
