Burger Off hospital send off of two journalists has been making recent headlines. Two British journalists were sent to the hospital after just bites off of a burger from the store "Burger Joint." The burger they bit into contains a kind of spicy sauce reportedly hotter than ingredients used in pepper spray, hence causing the Burger Off hospital send off.

The burger joint called "Burger Off" is making its name more notorious with every Burger Off hospital send off report. Located in the coastal Sussex city that is home to 92,000 people, the restaurant's blazing hot dish is not a usual meal, but a burger - the "XXX Hot Chili Burger."

What causes the increasing number of Burger Off hospital send off is treated with a special blend of hot spices. According to E Canada Now, the XXX Burger has already been given a Scoville scale measurement of 9.2 million. In comparison to a spicy hot chili which only ranks at 500 Scoville, that is undeniably extreme, and quite scary.

Even if the Burger Off hospital send off incident of two journalists has recently making headlines, according to Burger Off's Facebook page, this is not the first time that the restaurant's patrons have been sent to the hospital for simply biting into the scorching burger.

Five people have already been victims to the Burger Off hospital send off this spring. Now, restaurant owner Nick Gambard only sells the burger to legal adults. In addition, Gambard is requiring willing patrons to sign a waiver which releases him from health issues which may result from eating the powerfully hot burger.

Gambard told The Argus, 'We do try and take a certain level of responsibility. We don't sell the burger to anyone under 18, and if someone's been drinking we don't let them have it. I spend about as much time convincing people not to try one as I do selling them. I tell people it will ruin their weekend.'

The two journalists who were recent victims to the Burger Off hospital send off apparently thought that the U.K. eatery's reputation was just a bunch of hype.

The two British men decided to try the burger first hand and see for themselves if the Burger Off hospital send off stories were not just that, stories.

Well, the two journalists, Arron Hendy and Ruari Barratt, didn't know what hit them the moment they took their fill of the notorious burger. They landed in the hospital moments later after just one bite from the the "XXX Hot Chili Burger."

Barratt first took a bite, and minutes later he explained than he began suffering from an excruciating stomach pain. Soon after, he lost feeling in his hands and his legs began shaking together with his eyes rolling to the back of his head, reports The Argus.

Barratt explained, 'It was hard to walk. I needed to drink milk to neutralise the burning, which was hard because I was hyperventilating so much my hands had seized up."

According to Fox News, four of the five people who were victims to the Burger Off hospital send off in March suffered from anaphylactic shock. It seems that Barratt experienced the same type of shock.

Barratt's colleague, Hendy was initially okay. However, the effect on the burger on him was delayed. Two hours after things seemed to go well when the same symptoms as Barratt's began creeping up in him.

Barratt was first of the two to experience the Burger Off hospital send off. Promptly, Hendy was sent to the same hospital where Barratt was sent. Now, having gone through the life-threatening experience, he is warning anyone trying the burger on a dare to simply not do it.

Later on, Hendy explained his experience with the XXX similar to as if he was losing his life. Hendy told The Argus, 'I was in so much pain I was telling people I felt like I was dying. It's embarrassing but it felt that bad. If you're thinking of trying this burger for a dare, just don't.'

According to Fox News, the sauce from the XXX Burger uses a concentrated piri piri chili sauce from India, which Gambardella says measures estimate between seven to nine million units on the Scolville scale. Tabasco sauce reportedly comes in around 2,500 - 5,000, while pepper spray ranks 500,000 to five million units.

Burger Off hospital send off is not something Gambardella wants for his patrons though. He told The Argus, I spend about as much time convincing people not to try one as I do selling them. I tell people it will ruin their weekend.' As of March 2014, only 59 people have been recorded to have finished the burger.
