Recently at least 14 high school students in Japan were hospitalized after eating potato chips made using Indian ghost pepper, also known as bhut jolokia, police said. According to reports, the chips, brought to the school “just for fun” by a student, were consumed by about 30 others. In fact several students reported nausea and severe mouth pain. Today people love to eat spicy food but bhut jolokia is very spicy as very few people can tolerate it.
Bhut jolokia is actually one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. Actually it originates in Northeast India, particularly the region around Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. In fact it held the Guinness World Record for the world’s hottest chili pepper from 2007 to 2011. Actually that chips packet gave warning to people not to eat if they are under the age 18 or for people with weak stomachs and high blood pressure. In reality it is good that people want to eat different types of food but with it they also need to care their health properly.
