What is a Ghost Pepper?
Ghost pepper (also known as bhut jolokia) is a super-spicy pepper that originated in India. Although this pepper has been around for centuries, the western world was first introduced to the spicy pepper in 2000. At first, this pepper tastes smoky, almost sweet. But wait thirty or forty seconds—the intense heat sneaks up on you like a ghost.
Can you die from eating a Ghost Pepper?
While anything is possible, the general answer to this question is no. You could die if you had a serve allergic reaction, choked on the pepper, or overreact mentally so much that it causes you to have a medical condition such as a heart attack. Other than that you would have to consume at least 3 lbs. of Ghost Peppers to even ingest a dangerous amount of capsaicin, what gives peppers heat, and it is highly unlikely you would ever get close to eating that amount without having an upset belly where your body rejects the pepper preventing you from consuming more.
What color is a Ghost Pepper?

The most common color for a ripened pepper is red. They also can also be yellow, orange, white, brown (chocolate), peach, and even purple, depending on the variety.
