Beware of HOTPOT !!! HOT Warning!!!

Man from Wuhan, China develops hole in stomach wall after eating 'Ma La' hotpot 


A 26-year-old man from Wuhan, China had to be hospitalized after eating Ma La (meaning 'numbing hot') hotpot so spicy that he developed a hole in his stomach.

This confused doctors as it has been proven that eating lots of spicy food does not cause gastric ulcers nor did the man have any history of gastrointestinal disorders.

The man had ordered the spiciest batch of mala hot pot on the menu, the broth of which is made using a combination of chilli pepper and Sichuan pepper to cause a numbing sensation in the mouth.

He was rushed to the emergency room when he felt an acute pain in his stomach and vomited not long after finishing his meal.

This is not an uncommon scenario, however, as roughly 15% of gastrointestinal cases at the same hospital are said to have resulted from hot pot-related incidents.

According to media reports, many hot pot restaurants now use cheap synthetic seasonings and additives to substitute Sichuan pepper and other traditional, more expensive ingredients.
