1. Not only people but even animals do not dare to array to the unique tree species on this planet
2. The mysterious dead tree makes birds die

Mike Smith, owner of the Tom Smith plant in the UK, collaborated with researchers at the University of Nottingham to develop a world-record chili peppers.

Each chilli is only about 2.48cm long but it is so spicy that it reaches 2.48 million heat units on Scoville ladder, a measure of capsaicin concentration, chemical substance that releases the hot feeling that we feel when we bite the chilli plough. Much more spicy than the world record chili pepper, Carolina Reaper, has a spicy concentration of about 1.6 million units of Scoville heat, and US military tear gas is currently in use at concentrations of 2 million. Scoville ladder unit.

When dripping into pure water a drop of chili essential oil "dragon breath", you can still feel the spicy taste of chili at a depth of 2.48m.

What happens when you eat the world's most spicy peppers

When you eat hot peppers, the receptor in the mouth signals the brain to feel pain in spicy or hot. The brain will produce endorphins to prevent that pain.

But with chili peppers with very strong spicy, their impact causes excessive paralysis of the mouth, blisters or blisters containing liquid will appear in the mouth and throat, places exposed to high concentrations. capsaicin to help absorb heat.

With the "dragon's breath", the spicy level is so high that the blisters cannot help solve the heat of capsaicin. Capsaicin penetrates the blister and continues to activate the receptor at the nerve end below, causing you to experience a burning, painful feeling that lasts for at least 20 minutes.

Smith tried a little bit of the "dragon breath" chili with the tip of his tongue and felt like a burning tongue. Smith also warned, people should not eat like this chili because it could be the last dish in your life.

A 47-year-old man in California used to vomit chili when eating sandwiches sprinkled with chili powder. After eating, he vomited so badly that he broke his esophagus and was hospitalized.

If the concentration of capsaicin is too dense, the immune system will have to work too hard. The receptor for TRPV1, the protein at the end of the nerve that detects heat, is activated by capsaicin, and will identify capsaicin as a very strong heat signal that makes the body's defense mechanism extremely severe.

In some cases, eating hot peppers can lead to anaphylaxis, severe burns and even blockage of the airway, if not treated promptly, it can be fatal.

From May 23 to May 27, Dragon's breath was placed in a closed box at the Chelsea Flower Show, London, England.
