A dangerous Tikok challenge calls for paracetamol. Experts warn of fatal consequences.
More and more Tikok users are participating in the dangerous “Paracetamol Challenge”, which is about swallowing as many paracetamol tablets as possible. However, the trend has considerable health risks.
Take medication leads to massive damage to health
As the Swiss radio and television (SRF) reports, the over -the -counter medication is pain -relieving and fever -reducing, but when consuming excessive consumption, the active ingredient can massively damage the liver. Serious symptoms of an overdose usually only occur when the liver is already severely damaged.
“From six to ten grams, one speaks of a very dangerous area that can also lead to death if there is no quick medical care,” explains Caroline Samer, head of the Pharmacology and Clinical Toxicology Department at the University Hospital Geneva, the Swiss television station.
According to the SRF, the “Paracetamol Challenge” has already demanded a death in the USA. Specialists and authorities now advise parents and schools to provide increased educational work in order to clarify the young people about the risks in order to stop such dangerous trends.
Young girl dies according to Tikok- “Benadryl Challenge”
Again and again reckless and dangerous tictok trends lead to the death of young people. Last year, for example, a 15-year-old girl died of a medication overdose after taking part in the so-called “Benadryl Challenge”. In the video challenge, users film the hallucinations caused by the medication.
After a few incidents, the pharmaceutical company that produces the medication announced that they work together with Tikok to prevent such trends and delete video material immediately.
