I did the One Chip Challenge at Christmas. I did get a bunch of side effects (I got really dizzy, then I felt quite bad and then I threw up) from the level of spice in the chip. Which is strange because I can eat the spiciest foods from restaurants and usually enjoy them.
Here is a good article description of what to expect from the "One chip challenge", I can verify from experience that it is pretty spot on:

- heisenzombie 3y agoHa, yes that’s a funny line. I think what they’re getting at is that in order to reduce your core temperature, your body will move hot blood to your skin and extremities, raising their temperature (and making you feel hot!). This increases the temperature difference to your surroundings and therefore speeds up heat loss.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoI have a delicate—err—question: isn't that level of spice consumption unpleasant on the way out? Maybe I've just heard too many Taco Bell jokes but there it is.
- bhouston 3y agoI threw up much of it and it was a little spicy on the way out but it wasn’t that bad compared to eating it. Also I do not remember too much discomfort out the other end related to spice. But I generally felt nauseous and my stomach hurt in general. And once it was out I felt better.
