They are so hot that precautions should be taken when handling

Bhut Jolokia are so spicy that special precautions should be taken in their handling.

Wear gloves, at minimum to keep significant chili burn at bay. But if you’re sensitive

to capsaicin (the compound that gives chilies their heat), then we recommend wearing 

eye goggles and even a face mask when handling the Bhut Jolokia.

 

Caution!!! This peppers are the real deal. They are hot and very dangerous. We accept no 

responsibility for their heat!
