I sent this to John. I think he's going to try Pepper X and report back to us when he gets out of the hospital.

The upper echelons of that chart are not for me. I well remember eating a very small amount of a Malaccan Devil's Curry which included 40 chillies. Burning ring of fire was an accurate description of the next few days.
Sue - I avoid EVERYTHING on this chart.
Nothing above Cayenne for me! Otherwise : feel the burn :-(
I love jalapeños, which are as far up the chart as I'm willing to go ... I enjoy heat, but not the loss of the top three layers of my tongue. My two jalapeño plants have been unusually productive this year, and I've got two large jars of jalapeño slices pickling away in the refrigerator, with the plants still loaded!
I think that tolerating pepper heat is cumulative. When I was young even jalapeno was too much for me. Now I enjoy them. I use dried cayenne in cooking, and when I'm in a Thai restaurant I use the vinegar with crushed chilies.
The older I get, the less I can tolerate peppers. I'm reduced these days to sweet bell peppers, LOL!
I've had plenty of habanero sauces and a nice habanero relish. A friend bought me some ghost pepper salt that was good for seasoning. And I had a Carolina reaper paste that was pretty diluted and not as hot as I was expecting. That's my experience at the upper end of the scale.
Mid-range, the Thai peppers and cayenne are the best for combining good heat with good flavor in cooking, and the serrano is a good option if you like the flavor of the jalapeño but need more heat.
Jalapeno peppers are best as poppers stuffed with cheese and fried or raw and filled with peanut butter. Really, they're not much hotter than a bell pepper.
Stu - This is a chart of death for me.
Bill - Maybe they're creating an extra kick just for you!
Kathy - I've read that hot peppers actually kill sensors on your tongue. The more you kill, the hotter you can tolerate. If you quit eating the nasty stuff, the sensors will grow back and you will have to start all over again building up your tolerance.
Deb - I'm right there with you.
John - If you ever try Pepper X, make sure someone videos the experience.
Ghost Pepper is as high up that Scale as I've ever gone. I do like Spicy foods, but some that would destroy your Taste Buds and corrode your Stomach are probably best not eaten. *LOL*
Dawn - Ohhhh, Ghost pepper is as high as you've gone? !!!!!!!!! What!? You're almost at the top with that one! I'm taking the challenge off of John and putting it on YOU! Pepper X! The challenge is ON! When will we have a report, from the hospital?
I have a friend from Thailand who would probably eat pepper x for a snack 🤣 at a dinner party she made a 'sample' of how hot she likes her food, a friend tried it, took a bite, swallowed, went white as a sheet then bright red- it was hilarious/not hilarious if you know what I mean! We thought he was history! Needless to say none of us tried it 🤣🤣
CC - I have neighbors from Pakistan like that.
