A man who ate the world's hottest chilli pepper in a chilli-eating contest ended up in hospital after experiencing "thunderclap" headaches.
日前，一名男子在吃辣椒比赛中吃了世界上最辣的辣椒后，经历了“雷劈般”的头痛，最终进入了医院。
The 34-year-old man had eaten one Carolina Reaper chilli in the contest in New York State.
这名34岁的男子在纽约州的比赛中吃了一颗卡罗莱纳死神辣椒。
The "crushingly painful" headaches came on in the next few days.

His experience has been published in the BMJ Case Reports as it is the first case to be associated with eating chilli peppers.

The doctor who reviewed his case has warned anyone eating hot chilli peppers to seek medical attention immediately if they experience sudden onset headaches.

"Thunderclap" headaches are caused by the sudden tightening of the vessels that supply blood to the brain, a condition known as reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCSV).
“雷劈性”头痛是由于向大脑供应血液的血管突然收紧引起的，这种情况称为可逆性脑血管收缩综合征（RCSV）。

在比赛后，该男子立即出现了干呕。在接下来的几天内，他又出现了严重的颈部疼痛以及头痛的症状，但每次只持续几秒钟。

疼痛严重得以至于他去了急诊室接受了各种神经疾病的检查，但结果呈阴性。
A CT scan showed that several arteries in his brain had constricted, leading doctors to diagnose him with RCVS.
CT扫描显示他的大脑中有几条动脉收缩，导致医生诊断他得了RCVS。
The man's symptoms cleared up by themselves. And a CT scan five weeks later showed that his arteries had returned to their normal size.
