A man entered a contest1 Where he ate the hottest pepper2 in the world! Then he got bad headaches. He went to the hospital. What caused his headaches? Doctors think it was the chemical(化學物質)that makes peppers hot.
The doctors took pictures of the mans brain. They looked at the tubes3 that carry blood from the heart to the brain. Some of them were getting too thin. His blood could not move very well.
Good news! The size of the tubes went back to normal4! He was better after five weeks.
We know that hot temperatures can be dangerous. Now we know that hot peppers can be, too.
一名男子參加吃辣椒大賽。他在吃了世界第一辣的辣椒之后,深受頭痛之苦。到底是什么引發了他的癥狀?就醫后,醫生認為是辣椒中致辣的化學物質。
醫生在掃描其大腦后發現,負責從心臟向腦部供血的血管收縮變窄,導致血液無法順暢流通。
好消息是,五周后男子的腦血管恢復了常態。
一直以為高溫天氣會傷人身體,原來辣椒的威力也不可小覷。
