habanero

The SPICIEST pepper in the world that grows in Mexico and other parts of Central America. Treat it with respect, because the spice concentration can easily kill those who are not experienced with eating hot chili peppeers.

After eating a bowl of habanero pepper soup, I knew what Hell felt like for several hours, for no amount of ice-cold water seemed to quench the habanero fire.

Carrots are the roots of a dill-like plant which originated from what is now known as Afghanistan. The natural pigment of carrots are red, black, purple, white, and yellow. The familiar orange pigment is actually a Dutch hybrid of the red and yellow carrots.

mercury

A metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is typically used in thermometers, barometers, and other measuring devices. Is toxic to humans because it causes permanent brain and nerve damage. Mercury is nicknamed "quicksilver" because it was once used to shine hats and shoes before people realized that it caused insanity (Mad Hatter anyone?).

James developed severe schizophrenia within two years of working at a mercury factory.
