"Darkness cannot be dissipated with more darkness.
We were filled with discomfort when we learned of the world's hottest peanut butter, what's likely the world's hottest burger and even a soup so spicy it burned a hole in a man's stomach, but new reports of a U.K. doctor taking down the world's hottest curry has us squirming in our seats.

Consultant radiologist Ian Rothwell, a 55-year-old daredevil whose resume includes scaling Mount Kilimanjaro last year, ordered up a curry called "The Widower" at Bindi restaurant in Grantham, England. The dish is made with 20 Naga Infinity chilis, packs more than 6 million Scoville units and is so spicy that chefs preparing it wear goggles and a face mask.

Bindi's managing director and executive chef, Muhammed Karim, said that Rothwell took about an hour to polish off his plate, but that included a 10 minute walk outside during which he allegedly began hallucinating. Still, Rothwell's accomplishment is considerable -- he's the first of about 300 people to attempt "The Widower" and succeed.

(。。。)

The Daily Mail posted a video of the event, filmed by Rothwell's daughter, which shows Rothwell calm and composed. Watch it below.

but that included a 10 minute walk outside during which he allegedly began hallucinating.

The word 'allegedly' is no longer in the article, now there are 7 instances where the author claims he was certainly hallucinating, and 2 of the owner saying he was hallucinating.

the owner said I was hallucinating, but I think it was just the endorphins from all the chillis.

Now if they were Guatemalan insanity peppers I might believe it.
 
Nevermind the hallucinations just think of your poor arse the next day after eating this curry.
Serious ring sting indeed.
 
I would imagine at some point your nerve cells simply switch off when hyperstimulated by capsacin. Still, this guys is going to have the world's most painful shits soon!
 
I heard him interviewed on the radio a couple of days ago. He said he never hallucinated and that was something the media has just added. He said it hurt like hell though.

haha

had to learn more about this pepper and found this...

In 2008, Michael Kupershteyn, a resident of Fair Lawn, NJ consumed half of a imported Ghost Pepper. He immediately went color blind. Doctors are still puzzled by this unique reaction.

the infinity chile are a varient of naga chiles which are sometimes called ghost chiles. insane stuff. i like spicy food but once you start to get past habanero, it gets too hot to reasonably eat.

my old neighbor had a jar of capsaicin extract it was this red liquid a little thicker than water. he would put like a few drops in a huge pot of chili and it would make it hot as shit.

My acid reflux problems aside, I really want to start eating hotter peppers.

I get higher from varying chilli peppers than I do from decent cocaine. My head starts tingling, I feel light headed and somewhat floaty, intense rush of adrenaline/energy. It's awesome, I may have to hunt down some of those ghost peppers.

you get high off spicy peppers? what... i love spicy food and have eaten quite a bit of it and never got high from it lol

also ghost peppers grow in florida....
 
Do people really feel the hot peppers on the walls of the anus? I've never felt that, and I eat tons of spicy every day.

I just found the following curious sentence in another BL thread.

Snorted capsaicin or strong chili powder will give pretty intense endorphin rush, comparable to runners high.
 
I snorted a line of chilli powder on a dare bc this guy did one. What i didnt know at the time was that the kid was a huge cokehead and probably had no septum lol. It burned like hell. There are other things in chilli powder besides peppers but i didnt feel a rush or anything. I remember reading somewhere that in order to make pills abuse resistant they were going to use capsaicin.

Same as above i never had the problem of eating spicy foods and pooping fire balls. In rehab i drank an entire llittle bottle of franks red hot which is pretty mild imo, and everyone was like youre gona have a fiery anus and there was no problem. I guuess some ppls stomachs and gi systems are really sensitive. But then again ive never had the widower lol.
 
I got a bottle of Naga Jolokia chili pepper sauce for christmas this year. I'm known among friends and family as something of a masochist when it comes to chili pepper, but half a teaspoon of this sauce (straight no chaser) lit up my esophagus so badly that I felt it in my back. I've met my match for sure.

The aftereffects when the burning of a chili pepper starts to die down is definitely euphoric for me. Of all the drug experiences I've had, I'd say it's closest to cannabis, but still fairly unique. Euphoric enough to outweigh the intense pain? Yes, but not for everyone.
 
I agree. There is definitely an euphoric rush.

...and we just happened to get some Naga Jolokia sauce for christmas too. :D
 
Chili pepper definitely deserves to be called a drug, even though it's seldom thought of as one. Its mode of action is to cause the release of the neurotransmitter Substance P from afferent pain fibers. Eventually the neurons are "fatigued", that is, depleted of substance P vesicles, and the burning sensation fades to numbness. This can take many minutes, though. I've taken whole raw habaneros and other fairly serious chili peppers straight up, and I've noticed a weird but distinct set of neurological effects:
* Sweating cold sweat only from my frontotemporal area
* Tingling in the palms of my hands and in flashes down the inside of my fingers
* Mild numbness in the front of my neck
* The irresistible urge to pace (akathisia)
* Mucus secretion from the entire lining of my mouth
* Tear production, but no eye redness or runny nose or other urges to cry
* When the heat fades, a mellow numbness that's accompanied by mild euphoria, but continued lacrimation which can seem confusing at first.
* Sometimes intense and unexpected sexual arousal (No, I don't recommend applying chili pepper topically to your privates. Ever.)
* Sometimes tachycardia

Not all chili pepper preparations hurt on the way out. I can only imagine this is because some preps end up carrying a lot of the capsaicin all the way through the digestive tract without getting absorbed, and some don't. The worst problem I once had on the back end of a chili pepper laden meal was tenesmus, which is basically retching / dry heaving except with your rectum. I don't know if this was from direct neural stimulation, or was secondary to the lining of the rectum being so swollen that the muscles thought there was something to expel. Not fun, and not something you can just slap a little benzocaine or something on.
 
I've never eaten the chilis of which all of you speak but I have swallowed spoonfuls of cayenne powder to gauge a euphoric effect (which there was).
 
This sounds awesome. I'm doing this if I ever go to England.

Hotest thing I've eaten was a habanero. That wasn't that bad because you don't feel the burn until after you're done eating it, and then you just have a burn in your mouth (and face if any juices squirted out) that lasts about an hour.
