Why does eating spicy foods hurt so much AFTER you eat them?

I had XXTRA hot Cheetos last night, and when I was eating them, they weren't any hotter than regular hot Cheetos. But about ten minutes after I finished eating them, my mouth was on FIRE, my eyes were watering, my nose was running, and my face was hot. Why does the pain come AFTER eating the spicy food? D:
