The Carolina Reaper pepper is one of the spiciest edible peppers in the world. While localized symptoms such as mouth burning, mouth numbness, and even vomiting are the main risks of eating these peppers, recent case reports have revealed more serious complications of these potent foods. A 15-year-old healthy male ingested a Carolina Reaper pepper on a dare. Two days later, he developed an acute headache during football practice and was subsequently diagnosed with an acute cerebellar infarct and reversible cerebrovascular vasoconstriction syndrome. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome should be considered in patients who present with severe headache after ingestion of ultraspicy peppers, and early treatment of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome should be initiated in patients with severe headache after pepper ingestion.
卡罗莱纳死神辣椒是世界上最辣的可食用辣椒之一。虽然食用这些辣椒的主要风险是口腔灼烧、口腔麻木甚至呕吐等局部症状，但最近的病例报告显示了这些强效食物更严重的并发症。一名15岁健康男性在 dared（此处原文可能有误，推测是dare，意为挑战）下食用了一个卡罗莱纳死神辣椒。两天后，他在足球训练时出现急性头痛，随后被诊断为急性小脑梗死和可逆性脑血管收缩综合征。对于食用超辣辣椒后出现严重头痛的患者，应考虑可逆性脑血管收缩综合征，对于食用辣椒后出现严重头痛的患者，应尽早开始对可逆性脑血管收缩综合征进行治疗。
