NyQuil Chicken Challenge FDA warning
The FDA issued a warning on September 20, 2022, regarding the extreme dangers of cooking with medicine and any other over-the-counter drug.
The FDA warning stated: “One social media trend relying on peer pressure is online video clips of people misusing nonprescription medications and encouraging viewers to do so too.
“These video challenges, which often target youths, can harm people — and even cause death.”
The FDA added: “By cooking with the medication, the individual is boiling it down, causing it to become more concentrated and change its properties in other ways.
“Even if you don’t eat the chicken, inhaling the medication’s vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body. It could also hurt your lungs.”
The FDA said in a statement: “The challenge sounds silly and unappetizing – and it is.
“Put simply: Someone could take a dangerously high amount of the cough and cold medicine without even realizing it.”
The FDA released a public announcement after reports surfaced of teenagers being rushed to the emergency room or dying after attempting the challenge.
