It sounds like the guy that cultivated the Carolina Reaper has come up with a hotter pepper. Not really sure why. When a food causes heavy cramps and burning for hours I'm out. But according to the article,
"Pepper X, which has a rating of 2,693,000 Scoville Heat Units was named hottest chili pepper in the world by Guinness World Records on Oct. 9. The heat of the pepper lingered with Currie hours after he completed his initial taste test. “I was feeling the heat for 3½ hours. Then the cramps came."
