Please do not torture any arahants without their consent lol.
It’s a generalized pain transcendence, so there’s no reason it would work any different for capsaicin than for heat. To my knowledge, science experiments studying this often use heat, because the threshold for intolerable pain is below the threshold for tissue damage.
This gives me an idea …. Relevant xkcd: link.
More safely, if this arahant resistance to heat works with capsaicin, you could win some chilli eating contests.
