Man burns a hole in his throat after eating Bhut Jolokia chilly
- Man eats burger smeared with ghost chilly aka Bhut Jolokia puree
- Ends up with severe stomach ache and violent vomiting
- Doctors find a 2.5cm tear in his oesophagus
- Discharged from hospital after almost a month
Mostly, we all regret the following morning, after gorging on a spicy meal.  This guy, on the other hand, ended up with a hole in throat.
Â
Yes, you read that right: A. HOLE. IN. HIS. FREAKING. THROAT
Â
How did this happen? Â Well, it all started when this American man in his late 40s, decided to eat a burger that was liberally smeared with the puree of ghost peppers, namely this dynamite, called the bhut jolokia.
Â
Unsurprisingly, he found himself in the hospital because of severe stomach pain and intense vomiting. Â It was there that the doctors discovered a 2.5 cm gaping hole in his oesophagus.
Â
However, oesophagus tear due to spicy food is few and far between. And when that does happen, a lucky few survive, as this man did. This condition, according to the Journal of Emergency Medicine is called the Boerhaave syndrome.
Â
The man spent a month in hospital before eventually being discharged.
Â
Also called as the ghost chilly, or pepper among others, the bhut jolokia was once a  Guinness  record holder in 2007 for being the spiciest chilly containing a Scoville heat of more than a million.
