"The Carolina Reaper is one of the spiciest edible peppers in the world. I quote from a 2020 article in the journal Radiology Case Reports (an NIH publication) titled "Fear the Reaper": Once you get up near a million, you're talking about stripping the paint off your esophagus.

The once-feared Scotch Bonnet now seems mild at 100,000 units and the legendary hotter-than-Hades habanero is "only" 250,000 units.
