Doctors warn against trying dangerous new Internet challenges-News

[ad_1]

Several videos of #MilkCrateChallenge are flooded with TikTok and other social media

Health experts warned on Wednesday that people should not try the latest virus challenge-walking past a bunch of unstable milk crates.

In recent days, TikTok and other social media sites have been flooded with videos of the United States and others trying to climb crates, and most of them ended in failure.

The ending of most videos looks like a painful fall on a collapsed crate or the ground, because bystanders filmed what some people call the “Hood Olympics” on their phones.

Dr. Chad Cannon, a doctor in the emergency room at the University of Kansas Health System, said: “You are at risk of… bumping your head and bleeding.”

If “you fall on the milk carton, you will break your back and become paralyzed.”

The Baltimore City Department of Health pointed out that the hospital has been under pressure from the pandemic.

The official account tweeted: “As the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations continues to rise across the country, before trying #milkcratechallenge, please consult your local hospital if there are beds available for you.”

Although the hashtag can be easily searched on Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday, searching on TikTok did not yield any results.

“This sentence may be related to behavior or content that violates our guidelines. Promoting a safe and positive experience is TikTok’s top priority,” the search results page says.

These videos — and some shocking pictures of injuries — are reminiscent of the early Internet sensation, when doctors ripped their hair off.

In the 2018 Tide Pod Challenge, young people bite a bag of liquid laundry detergent.
