Black-out challenge
Holding your breath till you faint is a dangerous TikTok challenge. Sometimes, this behavior causes death or severe brain injury. Long before TikTok, variations of this trend, often known as the ‘choke game’ arose. Eighty-two youngsters in the United States alone died while playing the game between 1995 and 2007, according to Time magazine.
Benadryl challenge
Teenagers are challenging one another to consume huge quantities of the antihistamine Benadryl in an effort to induce hallucinations. Despite the fact that drugs typically just make you sleepy, insufficient dosages might be lethal.
Penny challenge
A partially plugged phone charger is the object of the challenge. Despite the trend's innocent appearance, a coin can cause sparks, electrical system damage, and in some cases, flames when it collides with metal prongs.
Throw it in the air challenge
The objective was to throw it up without the assistance of a bunch of friends who were gathered in a circle and were ogling a lowered phone. After that, push yourself to avoid letting something land on your head when you hurl it into the air.
The risk associated with this challenge is obvious. One shouldn't make jokes about the head. A head injury could result from the weight of the object and the height at which it is launched.
Tooth filing challenge
Users are challenged to file their teeth with a nail file in this challenge. Dental professionals and students were required to explain why the method was so risky. The user's dental enamel may be destroyed, and the teeth may occasionally suffer long-term harm.
