Do you know what the spicyest chili pepper in the world is? It is the Carolina pepper, called the "Death Pepper". What happens if you eat a whole piece? What happens if you eat 1,000 pills? Why is this chili so spicy? How much can your body withstand? How should you deal with this situation?
Some people can feel nothing even if they eat spicy chili peppers, just like there was a chili pepper competition on a TV show, and at this time they might need to eat dozens of Carolina Death Chili peppers. Scientists believe this may be a psychological competition, and these people have stronger ability to endure pain than those who cry after eating jalapeño . Of course, some people can indeed withstand one or two Carolina Death Peppers, but what if they eat a thousand? When the first pepper is in the mouth, you will start sweating, which is the first sign that your pain has been activated. Your metabolism will also be awakened, but it has begun since you start sweating.
When you eat the Death Chili in a crazily, your calories are also burning. You may not be immediately irritated by the spicy taste, but slowly you start to feel a strong burning sensation on your tongue and then spread throughout your mouth. Any part of the body will feel burning and numb when exposed to the Death Chili Oil. Maybe you should wear goggles , because once the peppers touch your eyes, it will cause severe pain and even lead to blindness. More pain receptors will be activated as the peppers go down your throat. You will still sweat constantly, and you may still start crying at this time.
Why does this change occur in your body? You should know that the spicyness of peppers is measured by the Scoville spicyness index. For example, one Yunnan Swishu pepper has a spiciness of 1 million Scoville. But Carolina Death Peppers have 1.6 million Scovilles, no less than the US military-grade pepper spray. Of course, the spicyness of the pepper spray should not be underestimated. The spicyness of capsaicin in chili is the basis for measuring the spicyness of chili peppers. Capsaicin is the substance that makes us feel spicy and burning after eating spicy food. Now you need to understand what might happen next, how you feel after eating one or two chili peppers, probably not very good.
After the pepper enters the stomach and mixes it with gastric acid, the stomach will secrete a large amount of gastric acid and gastric juice to protect itself from capsaicin, which will make you feel nauseous. Then you may start to want to pour milk wildly or eat ice cream. Dairy products contain casein to help neutralize the peppercorns and to some extent relieve the pain. If you don't like dairy products and decide to drink water, that's a big mistake. Water will spread capsaicin throughout the body, which aggravates the pain.
Eating spicy foods will definitely cause diarrhea, because when you are digesting spicy foods you will consume a lot of water, and in the end you may need to spend a long time in the toilet. Eat too much of this chili pepper and you may suffer from overdose of capsaicin and eventually lead to death. But for the same level of capsaicin, everyone's reaction is different. There have been cases in which some people only ate one Carolina Death Pepper, which has caused cerebral artery contraction and severe headaches.
So if you just want to taste some spicy food, you just drizzle some chili sauce on the food, or eat some chili peppers that are very low in spiciness.
