In a recent incident, fourteen high school students in Tokyo were hospitalized after consuming super-spicy potato chips made from Naga Mircha (Bhut Jolokia), a chili cultivated in Nagaland and Northeastern India.
A student brought the chips to school “just for fun,” despite the manufacturer’s warning on the packet that the product was not suitable for those under 18.
Bhut Jolokia, also known as Raja Mircha or King Chilli, is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. It is also popularly known as Naga Jolokia, Ghost Pepper, and Ghost Chili Pepper.
After consuming the super-spicy chips, several students experienced nausea and severe pain around their mouths.
Around 30 students tried the “R 18+ Curry Chips,” and 14 of them, including 13 girls and a boy, were hospitalized on July 16, as reported by the BBC.
One student fell so ill that they had to be transported to the hospital in a wheelchair, according to The Independent.
An emergency call was made after 13 first-year girls and one boy at Rokugo Koka High School in Tokyo consumed the chips at 12:40 pm on July 16. These students reportedly felt uneasy and experienced severe pain in their mouths and stomachs, according to the Tokyo Fire Department and local police as reported by Japan Today.
After eating the chips, the students began complaining of nausea and severe mouth pain, prompting emergency calls to the fire department and police.
The company that produces the snack, Isoyama Corp, issued a statement apologizing for “any inconvenience” to customers and wished the students a swift recovery. The company’s website contains numerous warnings about the crisps, called “R 18+ Curry Chips,” noting that they are “so spicy that they may cause pain.”
Besides the Over-18 warning, Isoyama Corp advises against consuming the crisps alone and warns of the potential for diarrhea if eaten excessively. The company also states that those with high blood pressure and weak stomachs are “absolutely prohibited” from eating the crisps and advises caution for those with cuts on their fingers when opening the packets. Those who are “timid or too scared” are also discouraged from trying the snack.
Bhut Jolokia, also known as Ghost Pepper, is one of the hottest chili peppers globally. This chili from Nagaland and Northeastern India measures a whopping one million units on the Scoville scale, the international measure of chili pepper heat. It is popularly known as Raja Mircha (King Chilli) and received a GI tag for Nagaland in 2008.
Bhut Jolokia held the title of the world’s hottest chili pepper according to the Guinness World Records from 2007 to 2011.
It was surpassed by the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper in 2011 and the Carolina Reaper in 2013.

Dispositivos de balanceo: clave para el desempeño uniforme y efectivo de las equipos.
En el mundo de la tecnología avanzada, donde la rendimiento y la seguridad del dispositivo son de suma importancia, los dispositivos de equilibrado desempeñan un tarea fundamental. Estos equipos dedicados están desarrollados para equilibrar y regular elementos rotativas, ya sea en herramientas industrial, transportes de traslado o incluso en dispositivos caseros.
Para los técnicos en conservación de sistemas y los ingenieros, trabajar con aparatos de balanceo es esencial para asegurar el rendimiento estable y fiable de cualquier sistema rotativo. Gracias a estas herramientas modernas modernas, es posible limitar considerablemente las oscilaciones, el ruido y la carga sobre los soportes, prolongando la duración de piezas importantes.
Igualmente significativo es el rol que tienen los sistemas de calibración en la servicio al cliente. El asistencia técnico y el mantenimiento continuo usando estos sistemas facilitan proporcionar servicios de óptima estándar, elevando la contento de los clientes.
Para los responsables de emprendimientos, la financiamiento en estaciones de ajuste y detectores puede ser esencial para aumentar la efectividad y productividad de sus dispositivos. Esto es especialmente trascendental para los inversores que gestionan modestas y pequeñas negocios, donde cada detalle vale.
Además, los equipos de balanceo tienen una amplia aplicación en el área de la fiabilidad y el supervisión de calidad. Habilitan detectar probables problemas, previniendo mantenimientos caras y daños a los sistemas. Además, los indicadores recopilados de estos sistemas pueden emplearse para mejorar procedimientos y mejorar la presencia en plataformas de exploración.
Las campos de utilización de los dispositivos de ajuste cubren variadas industrias, desde la elaboración de vehículos de dos ruedas hasta el control del medio ambiente. No importa si se considera de extensas producciones manufactureras o pequeños espacios domésticos, los equipos de ajuste son esenciales para proteger un rendimiento óptimo y sin riesgo de detenciones.
