bilby commented on the word ghost chile
"Although many places claim to have the maddest, baddest chile this side of Hades, northeast India's ghost chile is scientifically recognized as the hottest commercial chile pepper on the planet, 200 times spicier than jalapenos. The peppers are so hot that workers handling them wear goggles and gloves to avoid burns."
- Mark Magnier, Some like it really hot, LA Times, 13 Oct 2011.

I've been working my way through this guy's Youtube videos. They really are works of art. I love the refrain of "my tongue... back of my throat...".
For relevance, I link to the Bhut Jolokia or ghost chile, but my favourite so far is the Dorset Naga.
