According to the Scoville Scale, which measures the heat of hot peppers, the ghost pepper (a.k.a. Bhut Jolokia) hits 1,000,000 heat units. Compare that to the Habanero chili, which falls at around 100,000, or the jalapeño, which only scores about 3,500 to 8,000. The next step above the ghost pepper is pepper spray, which we all know is something to avoid.
