i once had a VERY spicy meal. and i'm quite used to spicynes

that meal caused me to feel it the next morning when i peed. which also means that my blood was spicy at some point

Are you sure you didn't have sex with someone with spicy pee prior? Spicy pee is contagious.

Crossed my mind, but the fact that it only happened once in the morning, quickly eased my mind

I've also felt this when eating spicier than usual food. Kind of threw off the taste too

Did the pee taste spicy or just different in another way?

Perhaps it could have been, your mucuous membranes reacting to the spicyness, rather than having them in your urine itself? Many autoimmune disorders tend to react strongly, to certain eaten things (like spices) - chronic bladder wall inflammation being one of them, for example - so I assume it could be possible, for that sort of reaction, to happen mildly and temporarily, with an excessive exposure like that.
