If it has such reputation, it should taste awfully spicy. I wouldn't dare to eat it too.

Ive got some growing but cant give you any seeds as I scrounged mine, but you could try the following excellent chilli forum.

Chillis Galore Forums • Index page

We grew them last year, the only thing I can say is dont bother. They are nuclear hot, so hot that they have no discernable taste and are useless to cook with because of it.

You can handle them with bare hands, till you open them up, then I would wear safety specs as well, I kid you not.

They are ok to grow for a laugh or to say you have grown them and I suppose are good for gags.
