Something else that isn't burning: spicy food.

Well, maybe on the second day on its way out .............. I guess you
could call that a sensation, but it sure seems like "burning" to me.
Although, come to think of it, I have never seen flames or smoke. Just felt
like it ..........

According to what I've heard, spicy food stimulates your sensory
nerves the same way fire would. This produces a burning sensation
without actually burning.

BTW, got any idea what temperature your tongue would have to reach
before it would actually burn? You may not want to try that experiment
;-)
