They say mexico got this chili pepper, so hot, you cannot even hold it with your bare fingers or you'll get blisters. How true is that I dunno, but I saw on tv, they used tongs handle it.

According to the Telegraph, this chilli is so hot, you'd have to drink 250,000 gallons of water just to put out the fire. It's called the "16 Million Reserve" and is 8,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce. In fact, it's not really a sauce, it's a food additive made of pure capsaicin. Its creator, Blair Lazar, from Extreme Food, describes his experience when he tried it: "It was like having your tongue hit with a hammer. Man, it hurt. My tongue swelled up and it hurt like hell for days." Another "chilli head" -- as are named the lovers of these extra hot sauces -- put a single grain into a pan of tomato soup and reported his wife's words after she tried the soup: "She threatened divorce once she could speak again." If you're interested, there will be only 999 bottles for sale, with prices ranging between $159 and $199. Read more...
The article of the Telegraph is very entertaining, so I'll let you read it. Here are some short excerpts of the history of the product, named "16 Million Reserve"because it's made of pure capsaicin, which scores at 16 million units on the Scoville scale developed in 1912. (For more details about this scale, read this page at Wikipedia.)
It takes several tons of fresh peppers to produce 1lb of capsaicin for the 16 Million Reserve, and the work takes months. First, moisture is removed from the fresh peppers until a thick tar-like substance remains.
The means by which all further impurities are eliminated, leaving pure capsaicin powder, is a trade secret, but the work takes place in a laboratory where Mr Lazar and his team wear sealed suits with masks to avoid inhaling the dust.
Five years ago Mr Lazar created "2am Reserve" in honour of the hour at which he once closed his bar. It was hotter than any other chilli product on the market, measuring up to 900,000 Scoville units.
He then distilled even stronger chilli extracts, including the scorching "6am Reserve" at 10 million units. Most of the signed and numbered bottles of "16 Million Reserve" will be bought by aficionados known as chilli heads. -
