The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) put out a statement warning people of ‘serious problems with high doses of the allergy medicine diphenhydramine (Benadryl)’. This is not a safe challenge.
“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that taking higher than recommended doses of the common over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medicine diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can lead to serious heart problems, seizures, coma, or even death,” it said.
“We are aware of news reports of teenagers ending up in emergency rooms or dying after participating in the ‘Benadryl Challenge’ encouraged in videos posted on the social media application TikTok.”
Some TikTok challenges aren’t so bad and in fact, are really good. The “I Will Challenge” inspires people to make a video about everything they plan to do in 2023. From travels to new work, it’s one of the challenges that gave people direction and a look into themselves.
Other TikTok challenges making their way around 2023 are the Core Memories Challenge, Journaling, Learn Something New, Show Us Your Drawers, Take a Picture of Yourself with This Item, Share Something That Makes You Happy, Make Someone Laugh, Tell Me About Myself, Do Something Different Every Day, Be Kind to Everyone, Celebrate Small Victories, Try New Things, Challenge Others and Use an Interesting Word.
Pick a good, healthy and happy challenge if you pick one at all. Inspire others and stay safe out there!
