Hottest peppers on Earth

[James]

Ed Currie holds one of his world-record Carolina Reaper peppers by the stem, which looks like the tail of a scorpion.

On the other end is red fruit with a punch of heat nearly as potent as most pepper sprays used by police.

Last month, The Guinness Book of World Records decided Currie's peppers were the hottest on Earth, ending a more than four-year drive to prove no one grows a more scorching chili. The heat of Currie's peppers was certified by students...read more here: Hottest peppers on Earth

Apart from ring sting, hand stands in the shower with cold water on full and bog roll in the freezer, if I made it that far, I reckon that pepper would be pure agony for most.

I recall a post or two over on MyBB where DJ... stated that you should not get ring-sting unless you have some sort of digestive dysfunction. I asked Mrs 44 (a registered nurse) and she confirmed DJ...'s statements. But on the other hand this is the same woman that woke me at 3am and told me to "do something about that fat bastard with his goats on the roof" and then laughed her arse off when I ran outside half-asleep <- true story

So do we believe Mrs 44 or not I am one of this with said dysfunction, so I'd be suffering hectically from chomping that chilli

I have an issue myself with most hot sauces except for the Nando's brand (the All-Gold is the worst, believe it or not).

Nando's is definitely quality. There's no debate about that. Almost everything they produce is quality, even their advertising is of the same high standard.

A good friend of mine (a fellow fan of hot sauce) consumed a little too much Death Sauce, and was consequently rushed to the ER to have a monster kidney stone removed. 'Twas not the chilli, but the added pepper that did it! I have Acute Atrophic Gastritis and still can't resist a Nando's veggie burger every now and again. I sip a drinking yogurt before eating my meal to coat my train wreck of a stomach, thus preparing it for the carnage that is to ensue.
