For decades people have believed that the Habanero is the spiciest pepper, while in fact Bhut Jolakia is the spiciest pepper. The Bhut Jolakia is also known as the Noga Jolakia, Ghost Chili, Ghost Pepper, and Naga Morich. This pepper has been rated at 1,041,427 Scoville Units. This is amazing because that means that the pepper are at least twice as hot as the Habanero pepper.
A recent addition to the bottles of hot sauce available... or well I wouldn't call it a sauce I would call it a heat additive since it really has no flavor. It is called Blair's 16 Million Reserve. It uses the pure extract from peppers, capsaicin. Pure capsaicin is rated at 16 million Scoville Units. This means it is 16 times hotter then the Bhut Jolakia, and way hotter then any flavored pepper sauce. There have been reports of people having to go to the hospital, because of a few flicks of the powder. Demon's Hot Sauce is sad to admit it, but unfortunately there is such a thing as too much hot.

Remedies for Our Hot Sauce
As we know, hot sauces can give a burning sensation that, for some customers, can be over powering. There are a couple of tricks to know, so that you can cool your mouth down, and not end up making it worse. DO NOT DRINK WATER! Water is one of the worst ideas if you cannot face the heat. Water opens up the taste buds in the tongue, so that you will end up having the pepper sauce's heat get worse, and stay for longer.
The best way to cool down the effects of hot sauces is to drink dairy products, such as milk (other dairy products like cheese could also work). In dairy products there is a protein, called casein, that counteracts the heat factor in peppers, capsaicin. This idea was also proved on the popular Discovery Channel show Mythbusters. You can also help mask the burning sensation with stimulation from chewing.
It has also been advised to eat fatty foods and beverages after have hot sauce, though it has not been proven that this method works. The science behind this is that capsaicin is less soluble in water then it is in oil, thus the pepper sauce effect will be lessened because of the higher oil levels in these foods and beverages.
