    Indian Woman Eyes Chili-Eating Record
    By WASBIR HUSSAIN, AP

    GAUHATI, India (April 10) – The “ghost chili,” the world’s spiciest chili, seems to suit her palate.
    A 28-year-old Indian woman smeared its seeds on her eyes before gobbling up 51 fire-hot chilies in two minutes for an entry into the Guinness World Records, organizers said Friday.

    Anandita Dutta Tamuly performed the feat Thursday, cheered on by celebrity British chef Gordon Ramsay who was visiting India’s northeastern Assam state for a television shoot for his new global food series.

    The thumb-sized chili pepper was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world’s spiciest chili. It is eaten in India’s northeast as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.

    The chili has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili’s spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000. Ramsay tried a bite of the chili — and ended up regretting it.

    “It’s too much,” he shouted as he pleaded for water from a stage in Jorhat, 200 miles (300 kilometers) northeast of Gauhati, the Assam state capital.

    Tamuly cried too but for a different reason.

      I just pruned the leafs from my peppers grown in my AeroGarden as per instructions. The leaves themselves smell of habaneros. I wouldn’t even risk the heat level of the peppers and I made sure I cleaned my hands thoroughly before heading for the bathroom. :jc: Safety first!
