I’d still like to try those, or something made from them. They can’t be all that much worse than some of the peppers my Carribean co-workers have brought in - which were so hot they made my eyes water, my head sweat, my face turn an odd color, and my stomach hurt. And I like hot stuff.

I produce chili grenades every time I eat chili, usually the next day.

Wow, I’d rather have tear gas!
Although the pepper would probably provide both of those as well...

Don’t be so sure. I’ve seen Youtube videos of people who swore they ate jalapenos like candy try one of those things. The results weren’t pretty.
Although...how do you beat crippling summer heat by eating a pepper that’s pretty much like sticking your face into a H-bomb explosion? Everything else feels nice and cool afterward?

Wonder if they’ll be selling this weapon at Taco Bell?

According to the capsaicin measure (Scovilles) of the two, these are up to 400 times hotter than a jalapeno. (2,500 vs >1,000,000)
Not pretty, indeed! :-/

Have you seen the
Man vs. Food episode where the host eats the "Four Horsemen" burger topped with, among other peppers, the Ghost Chili?
I have seen him eat a lot of crazy stuff on this show, but I swear it looked like this pepper was going to make him have a heart attack!

Where can I get some seeds?!?!?!?!?!....................

They are three times as hot as a scotch bonnet and four times as hot as a habenero, so I guess it is relative. At what point does it matter? My first time ever eating a habenero I threw five of the bad boys in my dish, I can’t imagine anything hotter however they take a few minutes to rev up in heat everything I have seen on the ghost chili suggests the heat is nearly instantaneous.

This is a cure for stomach ailments? I’m thinking my stomach would disagree. Violently.

I found
Bhut Jolokia Seeds from an Internet search. I'm sure there are other places. I did read that the amount of rain the plants receive affects the spicyness- the wetter, the better.

Did you see the episode where he ate ghost chili hot wings? It is the only time in that entire show where I saw him give up after one bite.
