Chili grower defends world's hottest pepper after man who ate one was hospitalized

I’m in no danger, CW5 Jack Cardwell. I simply can’t handle even the mildly hot stuff!

Wow!

Thanks for letting us know CW5 Jack Cardwell that Salvatore Genovese said the world’s hottest chili pepper needs to be “correctly” cooked and eaten to prevent health problems.
I like hot foods while my wife prefers bland foods - opposites attract:-)

"Salvatore Genovese, who grows the world’s hottest chili on his British farm, told Sky News on Sunday the pepper needs to be “correctly” cooked and eaten to prevent health problems.
"We have sold, in the past couple of years or so, over half a million Carolina reapers and I have never had any knowledge or any complaint of anyone having to be hospitalized,” Genovese told Sky News. "It's not really designed to...just plonk it in your mouth and eat it…I would never do that and I wouldn't recommend it.”

"Just cook with it, make a curry, infuse it slowly take it out if you want to afterwards, and get the rich flavors from that super-hot chili,” he added.
MAN WHO ATE WORLD'S HOTTEST CHILI IS HOSPITALIZED WITH EXCRUCIATING HEADACHES
A report released last week by British Medical Journal detailed a 34-year-old man’s mistake of biting into the so-called “Carolina Reaper” -- which led to his hospitalization. The man, who was not identified, ate the pepper at a 2016 chili eating contest in upstate New York.
After he ingested the chili, he began dry heaving and developed intense neck and head pain that spread from his back to his head. He also had “thunderclap” headaches, described as “a blinding pain” that would last seconds at a time.
The man was diagnosed with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, a temporary brain condition caused by the narrowing of blood vessels."
