17-month old boy loves eating world's hottest chilly

---

DIBRUGARH (Assam), July 9 (PTI): While other children of his age savour the first taste of chocolates, 17-month old Jayanta Lahan finds 'bhoot jolokia'-world's hottest chilly-the most appetising.
Lahan, nicknamed Johnny, started devouring the famed chilly since he was six months old and Sunday he ate 23 of them in just two minutes before a group of journalists here.
Concerned with their son's unnatural taste, Lahan's parents Ritul and Rupjyoti contacted several doctors here who have assured them that the child is healthy.
No apparent side affects due to consumption of the chillies have been detected in the several medical tests conducted so far.
The toddler, who on one occasion allegedly ate 60 of these chillies, may be a wonder here but his parents are not interested in putting his name in the record books.
