Be careful not to overdo the hot spices!
That is the best way to write it in my opinion. Could be wrong, but I doubt it is. I'm 98% sure I'm right.
That is what I put I wasn't sure that overdo was a word. Thank you for all your help
You're both right. And Jared -- if in doubt, look it up.

To make the necessary changes to the sentence, follow these steps:
1. Change "overdue" to "overdo" - The word "overdue" is usually used to refer to something that is late or past its expected time. In this context, we want to use the term "overdo," which means to do something excessively. So the corrected sentence becomes: "Be careful not to overdo the hot spices!"
2. Insert a comma after "hot" - Adding a comma after "hot" helps to separate the adjective "hot" from the rest of the sentence. The revised sentence should be: "Be careful not to overdo, the hot spices!"
3. Change the exclamation point to a question mark - Since the original sentence does not sound like a statement but rather a cautionary question, it is more appropriate to use a question mark instead of an exclamation point. The final corrected sentence is: "Be careful not to overdo, the hot spices?"
