Who has eaten a ghost pepper?

I don't know why i love spicy foods so much but I do. People think I'm a little crazy. I tried my first ghost pepper last night. It was just a tiny piece but it was unbelievably hot. The flavor was amazing however. So, who else has been crazy enough to eat a real ghost pepper?

@irishmolly72 My friends actually grew them, but I didn't eat any. They did.

@irishmolly72 actually, I had a terrible experience once in a SW restaurant, almost needed to go to the hospital. I love very hot things, but I have been very careful since that experience.

@irishmolly72 But it's missing the reaper on the list

Always have some heavy cream available, it helps.

@bhatjc It's in the text of the page: "[i]In 2013, the Carolina Reaper was named by the Guinness Book of World Records the world's hottest pepper, measured at 2,200,000 SHU[/i]." It's a cross between the Pakistani Naga and a Red Habanero.

@irishmolly72 Thank you. I think some people are trying to bread a hotter pepper then that.
