“We carried on going round and I started sweating and a moment later I felt my throat burning.”

After rushing to the toilet, Beth said she feared the worst as she struggled for breath.

She went on: “I kept thinking that if it leads to a full-blown asthma attack I could die.

“I love hot food, I love lamb bhunas — but this was the hottest thing I have ever had. It’s the latest craze and everyone’s talking about it. But I think they are dangerous.”

Beth, from Scarborough, North Yorks, suffered a major asthma attack at school a week later — and believes her Doritos ordeal was linked to it.

She added: “I couldn’t stop crying. It was the worst attack I’ve ever had. It was terrifying.”

Her school, the George Pindar, has now banned the snack, which launched in April.

The school warned parents in a letter: “They can cause distress, particularly to those with sensitivities, allergies or breathing problems.”

Doritos say the snack is not suitable for young children but Dawn said: “There’s nothing stopping kids getting them.”

She added: “I never thought it could be so dangerous to eat a crisp. I won’t ever let them do it again. This could happen to anyone’s child.”

A school spokeswoman said: “We placed a cautionary note in our newsletter after an incident with a student where they had experienced some difficulty breathing after eating one.

“The student had a pre-existing respiratory condition which clearly made them sensitive to the ‘hot’ element of the Doritos chip.”

Doritos said last night: “We were sorry to hear about what happened.

“We do warn people to expect a seriously spicy experience with Doritos Roulette and we make this clear on the pack and in our adverts.

“The front of the pack states, ‘Warning: Some of these chips are ultra spicy’, while we also say they are not recommended for young children.”

The hot chips are coated with a flavouring measuring 78,000 units on the Scoville Heat Scale — with a super-hot Scotch Bonnet pepper starting from 100,000.

Doritos marketing manager Michael Walford said at the launch: “There’s a warning on the pack for a reason — the invisible hot chips are exactly that.

“They’re hotter than most of the spiciest dishes out there so you’re going to want to have a glass of milk at the ready in case you get one.”

Food! What a scorcher

BRITS have a long-held love of super-spicy foods — with Pot Noodle’s Bombay Bad Boy among the most popular.

It is advertised as an “incredibly hot” curry snack and comes with “hot fire” sauce.

KFC and Burger King have their own spicy burgers, while Pizza Hut has a Hot & Spicy Blazin’ Inferno dish piled with peppers.
