i thought it was odd, but didn't put two and two together when the food runner (delivering my dish) was suited up like he was handling nuclear waste
and isn't it funny that there's a universal sign language when humans are in food shock/distress from such things
flailing arms, fanning your face (like that's going to help), eyes streaming tears, schnozz opened like a faucet, profuse sweating, etc.
lesson learned Was the food good?

One of my favorite Thai places here, has what I call the random scale. They ask you 1-5 for how hot you want it, they then proceed to make whatever they want and serve it to you. I've had 5s that didn't even make me reach for the drink, and I've had 1s that I couldn't finish. I have noted that with the chili oil dishes, they seem to increase in hotness by a level or two when stored in the fridge overnight. So that 3 you had last night will be a solid 4+ for lunch the next day.

The receiver was cool but you had to fine-tune it by finding a local ham guy to broadcast a tone at a known frequency etc etc and I never did that so the thing was really hit and miss. Plus we didn't have tall trees in the neighborhood back then so my antenna wire was only about 10 feet off the ground.
