According to the Daily Mail on December 3, world's hottest chilli was created from a small greenhouse in Cambria, UK, which will make your eyes stream, throat burn, nose run.

据英国《每日邮报》12月3日报道，英国坎布里亚郡一个小型温室培养出了世界上最辣的辣椒“纳加”椒，辣度可以让人泪如泉涌、喉咙灼烧、鼻涕直流。

Experts at Warwick University carried out tests on the chilli and officially declared it the world's hottest chilli in the Guinness Book of World Records.

华威大学的专家经测验后，正式宣布该辣椒作为世界上最辣的辣椒入选世界吉尼斯纪录。

Dozens of customers sampled a curry cooked with Naga Viper. Only two managed to finish the whole dish.

很多顾客都试着品尝有用“纳加”椒烹饪的咖哩食品，但只有两个人吃完了。

"It's painful to eat," said Gerald Fowler, 52, creator of Naga Viper, "It numbs your tongue, and then burns all the way down. It can last an hour, and you just don't want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it's a marvelous endorphin rush. It makes you feel great."

“纳加”椒的培育者、今年52岁的杰拉尔德·福勒说：“吃这种辣椒非常痛苦。你的舌头会麻木，之后一直到你咽下去你都会感觉像灼烧一般。这种感觉会持续一个小时左右，你都不想和任何人说话，也不想做任何事情。但这种'内啡肽爆发'很神奇，让你感觉棒极了。”

Mr Fowler has sold chilli seeds to the Eden Project in Cornwall, to the Edinburgh Horticultural Society, and to farmers in Afghanistan, as an alternative to growing poppies for opium.

福勒先生目前将辣椒种子卖给了英国康沃尔郡的伊甸园工程、爱丁堡园艺学会以及阿富汗的农民以作为罂粟的替代作物。
