Two friends from New Jersey attempted to consume the world's hottest chili peppers, but their stunt ended with disastrous results as one ended up throwing up while the other had an asthma attack and almost passed out.
Sabrina Stewart, 22, and Lizzy Wurst, 18, were excited to try the chili tasting challenge which would see the two teenagers consume an entire Carolina Reaper pepper. The pepper measures an eye-watering 2.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, compared to a mere 30,000 in the average red chili, or 300 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.
Eating an entire Carolina Reaper can cause profuse sweating, vomiting, stomach cramps, and an extreme burning sensation from the tongue to the stomach. The confidence displayed by both the girls appeared to disappear as quickly as the heat from the chili arrived.
The effect was immediate. Lizzy began a coughing fit, while Sabrina was left struggling to breathe and convulsing on the bench they were sitting on. Within seconds the girls' faces contorted and they squirmed in their seats as the agony of the hot pepper hit.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Lizzy told of the frightening sensation she felt within seconds of biting into the pepper.
'It felt like a fire burst in my mouth. I burned the roof of my mouth so that felt extremely weird and painful. On a scale from 1/10 it's 1,000,000! It was so hard to handle! It was one of the worst feelings I have ever experienced.' Watch the Video below....
