Nope, I haven't forgotten. It never happened with me. I have a friend
who gets the screaming vatos when he eats cayenne - but, from no other
pepper.

Quit eating chilies? That ain't gonna happen for a start. How else
would I keep my sinuses clean, free-running and sweet smelling? Other
than Chinese-style mustard, that is.

Well, I gots a lot of body mass. And you may be right. But, I'm not
willing to quit chilies to try the experiment.
I don't do that macho crap of "I can eat anything hotter than you".
OTOH, I go to Thai restaurants which do dishes Thai hot - if you ask
and they know you can handle it.
And my favourite Chinese place sort of shakes their collective head
when I separate out the peppers from the Kung Pao Chicken and munch
them as a treat ... but they aren't really hot. Japones, I think.
Overall, I'd place myself in the upper reaches of "moderate" even if I
do take an occasional flyer into stupid land. But, I still (and I have
a very decent memory) cannot remember ever getting ring of fire from
eating chilies.
