Wunderkind!
DIBRUGARH, July 8 While other children of his age savour the first taste of
chocolates, 17-month-old Jayanta Lahan finds Bhoot jolokia, worlds hottest
chilly, the most appetising.
Lahan, nicknamed Johnny, started devouring the famed chilly since he was six
months old and today he ate 23 of them in just two minutes before a group of
journalists here. Concerned with their sons unnatural taste, Lahans parents
Ritul and Rupjyoti contacted several doctors here who have assured them that
the child is healthy.
No apparent side affects due to consumption of the chillies have been detected
in the several medical tests conducted so far.
The toddler, who on one occasion allegedly ate 60 of these chillies, may be a
wonder here but his parents are not interested in putting his name in the
record books.
We just want our child to be healthy. We do not want his health to be
affected in any way because of the chillies, said his farmer father.
The Bhoot Jolokia, whose scientific name is Capsicum chinense with 1001304
Scoville Heat Unit (in scientific terms), has been ranked the worlds hottest
chilly.
An Assamese woman, Anandita Tamuly, is aspiring to make it to the Guinness
Book of Records for eating the maximum number of the chilly. PTI
