Chilli does kill off your tastebuds, but is also used in some kinds of medicines, so it isn't unhealthy per se. (Don't worry, the tastebuds come back, but this explains why people who eat chilli every day can eat much more spicy food)
Chilli can cause local irritation, of course. Runny noses are also quite normal ... enjoyable, even!!
You can calmly eat chilli, if you enjoy it.
QFT. It's only bad if you have an ulcer. Otherwise chilli is rather healthy, as are spices.
