Well, Anandita Dutta Tamuly, a 25-year-old Indian woman with an uncanny ability to chow down on massive amounts of the world's hottest pepper hasn't died yet. She's been known to gobble 60 Bhut Jolokia, or ghost peppers, in two minutes, and even plans a bid to smash the Guinness Record for pepper eating. Talk about an exercise in ghost chili masochism!!
You could try to grow it in dirt like any other chili pepper, but the plants are painfully fragile, susceptible to many pests and diseases, and very difficult to grow. The seeds germinate best between 80F and 89F and benefit from hand pollination with a paint brush. While small amounts of bhut jolokia are grown in a few other places, including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (and a similar variety, the Dorset Naga, in England), horticulturists say the gentle sloping hills, heat and humidity of the Indian northeast make it the ideal greenhouse.
So...you could move to India!
For immunity? Um...Start small, my friend. Try hot sauce and jalepenos and work your way up maybe. Eventually, your body's natural endorphins will kick in and you "might" be numb to the pain.
Of course, your butthole might also burst into flames.
And how hot is the bhut jolokia?
As a way of comparison: Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units. Your basic jalapeno pepper measures anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000. The previous record holder, the Red Savina habanero, was tested at up to 580,000 Scovilles.
The bhut jolokia crushed those contenders, testing at
1,001,304 Scoville units.
Good Luck! :)
Ghosts have a tendancy to make very thin chili. You cannot depend on getting the dice or cube correct as they keep disappearing on the cutting board. LOL!!!
