I recall seeing an episode of “Man VS Food” on the Travel Channel, where the host visited an Indian restaurant in NYC that is reported to make the hottest curry on the planet. I don’t remember what it was called, but maybe this was the same thing.
The “chef” (chemist?) actually wore a respirator while cooking it!
If I recall correctly, it included pureed, whole ghost chilis!

I won’t say the planet but maybe the US. And the ghost peppers come from the state of Assam in India. In local language they are called Bhoot jolokia. People who pick ghost peppers wear special protective gears. They are not usually used for cooking. India uses those peppers to make pepper grenades for crowd control. Regular tear gas or water cannons are no good when you are dealing with a crowd of several millions. People will come and take a shower with the water cannons under the hot Indian. Ghost pepper grenades are found to be more effective.
