Orlando – Florida (US): Doctors have a warning for parents of teens when it comes to TikTok challenges.

Some teens received serious injuries from online challenges

Recently we saw a child who doused himself with rubbing alcohol and then lit himself on fire, the premise being that the alcohol would burn off before the fire touches you, but it doesn’t. It definitely can cause permanent damage, you know the same way that Benadryl can be fatal.
