What is considered the world's hottest pepper?

• The Carolina Reaper:The Carolina Reaper is the hottest chili pepper in the world, according to Guinness World Records: In terms of sheer spiciness, it measures in at an average 1.6 million on the Scoville heat scale (a jalapeno, by comparison, is typically under 10,000). Just looking at it, you know it's one mean pepper. The pepper is red and gnarled, with a small pointed tail. In April 2018, a 34 year old man was admitted to the hospital when he was struck with severe headaches days after eating a single Carolina Reaper. Scans of his head revealed several arteries in his brain had constricted, which led to a diagnosis of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
