A curry house has promised to cool down its 'world's hottest chilli' competition after two entrants ended up in A&E.
Competitors who tucked into the extra-hot Kismot Killer curry were left writhing on the floor in agony, vomiting and fainting.
Two British Red Cross workers overseeing the event at the Kismot Indian restaurant in Edinburgh but became overwhelmed by the number of casualties and ambulances were called.
One customer, Curie Kim - whose first name is pronounced 'curry' - was so unwell after sampling the 'Kismot Killer' dish that she had to be taken by ambulance to hospital twice in a few hours suffering from stomach pains, vomiting and acid indigestion.
The 21-year-old student, who came second, said: ‘This was for a good cause, but it came with a price. I have never endured such pain.’
Half of the 20 people who took part in the challenge dropped out after witnessing the first 10 diners vomiting, collapsing, sweating and panting.
In previous years, the Kismot Killer dish has caused diners to suffer nosebleeds and one elderly man had to be taken to hospital.
