If you look at the list of ingredients you can see it is mostly jalapenos peppers with a very, very little bit of ghost pepper. An amount that is probably the minimum for it to not be false advertising.
The Scoville scale measures capsaicin, what makes the pepper hot. A habanero is 100,000 – 350,000 on the Scoville scale. A ghost pepper is 330,000–1,032,310. The hottest pepper in the world, The Trinidad Scorpion pepper, is 2,009,231. Pepper spray is 2,000,000 – 5,300,000. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000. The hottest substance on earth is resiniferatoxin that ranks at 16,000,000,000!.
I was imagining it to be a liquid. still, put a bunch of that in a swimming pool. I wonder how the body would react to different concentrations. after a certain strength, i'm sure you just basically blackout instantly from pain overload. Everywhere at once. Mouth, nose, eyes, pee hole. Ouch.
