Spitting blood: Spitting blood is not normal, and is often a symptom. It may or may not be COVID related. Call your physician and find out the cause.

Unsure: I am not sure. Capsaicin which is found in hot peppers can cause burning pain with ingestion as well as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea. Hematemesis has been reported with ingestion of pepper spray. Oropharyngeal lesions might be caused by capsaicin. Really don't know that cause.
