Nature has thoughtfully created a wide range of useful vegetation for man.
But in some cases, the properties of some fruits are better used for external use, such as hot peppers.
The hottest variety of hot pepper in the world is considered to be the Carolina Reaper, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records for its properties.
The variety was bred from the Capsicum genus and was officially recognized as the hottest cultivar in August 2013.
On the Scoville scale, its pungency coefficient is between 1.15 million and 2.2 million units.
Every year they try to break the record for eating this variety of pepper.
So far, the 2016 record set by Wayne Algenio has not been broken.
The man ate 119 grams of the aforementioned pepper in one minute.
The resident of the Volgograd region did not intend to set a record.
However, after he started eating the world's hottest pepper, he died within a month.
This case was reported by MIA "Russia Today".
According to the Russian man's widow, her late husband ate hot peppers, even though he had health problems - anemia and cirrhosis of the liver.
The deceased did not undergo treatment, but the official cause of death was not announced.
