Peppers contain capsasien an oil which is surprisingly good for the lining of the stomach and other areas of the body as in warding off colds. I believe the hottest is the habenero.

Capsaesin makes the pepper hot and Scotch Bonnets are the hottest peppers there are.

Capsaicin is the name of the compound that gives a pepper its hotness.
I think the Habanero is the hottest. You have to wear gloves to handle the plants/peppers because the oil will burn the skin on your hands.

The tear jerking sting comes from the chemical "capsiacin" As for which is the hottest? See and judge for yourself.
