John Assaraf recounts a personal vlog-style anecdote about eating a bhut jalokia (ghost pepper). He describes an intense physical reaction: tearing and throat burning initially, then about 15 minutes later severe stomach pain that forced him to pull over and vomit five times while driving his son. He states the pepper’s heat (~1.6 million Scoville), that he bought three peppers, warns others not to eat ghost peppers whole, and ends with humorous family reactions (daughter Aurora).

Hey there, friends. Okay, so I have been doing something insane this afternoon because about an hour ago I ate one of these bhutjalukya, otherwise known as the ghost pepper. And it started off being really hot and I was teary eyed and burning in the back of my throat. And then I was fine for about 15 minutes and I got in the car to drive my son somewhere and I actually had to pull over and throw up five times. The pain was so unbearable I have no idea what happened. But no wonder they call this the. I mean the ghost pepper because some kind of a ghost entered into my body and started punching my stomach and my intestines like they were gonna explode. Tears, sorry, but I was vomiting. I had to pull my car over on the side of the road five times. I do not, I repeat, recommend that you eat the ghost peppers on their own. I'll chop them up in little pieces now and do that from now on. I love hot and spicy. This is about a million six on the Scoville scale. I only bought three of them. I think the next two are going to last me five years. The rest of the stuff that I eat is probably 3 to 500, 700, 800,000 Scoville scale. That was blistering at 1.6 million. I hope you got some laughs out of it because my whole family and my kids certainly did, especially Aurora, who is laughing at me right now. Have a fun week. Bye bye.
