Struggling with a sudden sensitivity shift before my first official pepper challenge...

I was steadily increasing my heat intake without issue, aiming for a local 'Fire Bowl' event... but out of nowhere, my usual go-to sauces are causing intense reactions. It's like my tolerance reset overnight, which has me completely baffled. Has anyone else faced this kind of unpredictable reversal, and how did you recalibrate?

You ever try just taking a full break for a few days? My buddy had that happen and @the_riley actually mentioned something similar once. He stopped eating any heat for like a week and it kinda leveled back out.

Your tolerance really reset overnight?

Whoa, @the_riley, did my tolerance really reset overnight (that seems insane)? I'm genuinely shocked if that's the case.
