SCOTCH BONNET PEPPERS ARE CREATED BY SATAN!!!!!!
A few years back I did one of the stupidest things that I have ever done in my life. I ate a Scotch Bonnet pepper.
If you have never heard of this evil pepper here is some info that I found on it. Remember, I ate one whole. I have highlighted some text that I found interesting.
Check out the text in green
The Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a variety of chili pepper similar to and of the same species as the habanero. A cultivar of the habanero, it is one of the hottest peppers in the world. Found mainly in the Caribbean islands, it is named for its resemblance to a Scotsman's bonnet. Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 150,000–325,000 Scoville Units.
These peppers are used to flavor many different dishes and cuisines worldwide. Scotch Bonnet has a flavour distinct from its Habanero cousin. This gives Jerk dishes (pork/chicken) and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavour. Scotch Bonnets are especially used in Caymanian and Jamaican cooking, though they often show up in other Caribbean recipes. Eaten raw, these peppers are also known to cause dizziness, numbness of hands and cheeks, and severe heartburn.
Fresh ripe Scotch Bonnets or Habaneros change from green to colors ranging from pumpkin orange to scarlet red. Ripe peppers are prepared for cooking by cutting out the seeds inside the fruit which can be saved for cultivation and other culinary uses.
Scotch Bonnets look almost identical to a similar pepper called the "seasoning pepper", often eaten whole and raw, but this species has much less spice, and is used for its flavour, not heat. Eating whole, raw scotch bonnet peppers is not advised for those unaccustomed to eating very spicy food.
Here are some pictures of this horrible experience. I was sick for 3 days. I threw up multiple times. I had heart burn and a stomach ache for a week. My lips were bright red and I could not eat spicy food for months. There are some other symptoms that I had but I wont get into them.
Do not eat one of these raw!!!!

Oh come on you big baby. How bad can a little pepper be?
Stewy - You are kind of a softie, huh?
Ummmm, I hope you at least got to be part of some cool club after that.
I ate a Habanero a few years back. I could not digest food for a week and had to go to the doctor after 3 days. Felt searing pain in my stomach every time I tried to eat or drink. Oh yea. Been there, done that! I thought I was never going to try again, but I've gotten a lot "sturdier" and have eaten parts of the Jamaican Scotch Bonnets, Fatalis and Habaneros I'm growing this year. My goal is to be able to handle a whole pepper of any of these by the end of summer :)
