The FDA is warning parents and the general public of challenge videos that surfaced on TikTok of people cooking chicken in Nyquil. The FDA says, boiling the over the counter medication can make it more concentrated and create enhanced side effects. The warning says, that even if a person doesn't eat the chicken, the vapors from the medicine can cause lung damage. Videos depicting the challenge have now been taken off of TikTok and the platform has placed warnings on searches for related videos. The concern is primarily that children will see or learn of the challenge and depict it. It is the latest social media trend or challenge with adverse health consequences, which have been a growing trend in recent years. Were you aware of the "sleepy chichen" challenge? Let us know, below.
