TikTok has a new trend going around called the “Sleepy Chicken Challenge” that the FDA has officially deemed unsafe. The new “health trend” is where you’d boil chicken in MyQuil. FDA made a point to say that it’s dangerous even if you don’t eat it.

Early this year people were trying this trend on TikTok as a potential cure for a cold. For those with common sense, we immediately thought this to be a bad idea, an obvious no…but for others, actual medical doctors had to come out to warn of the dangers. And now, the FDA has issued an alert.

According to the FDA, boiling a medication can make it more concentrated and change its properties in unpredictable ways…and even if you don’t eat it, simply “cooking” it can severely damage your lungs because of the vapors.

There is a broader warning from the FDA to all parents about the potential serious dangers of social media trends that can not only cause harm, but can KILL people.

It’s unclear if people are actually still doing this Sleepy Chicken Challenge nonsense or if it’s mostly died off.
