The"One Chip Challenge" is making headlines again and it's not because of fun social media videos.
Though the challenge debuted several years ago, it is seeing renewed interest thanks to the rise in popularity of TikTok.Last week, a school district spokesperson said that three middle school students in Tyler, Texas were hospitalized after attempting the viral social media challenge. "A number of Lodi High students took part in the 'One Chip Challenge' on school campus, which entails eating a chip that has been covered in pepper and hot sauce that causes the individual to react and become ill," Chelsea Vongehr, a spokesperson for Lodi Unified School District, told TODAY Parents."A number of students were sent home and three were referred to the emergency room because of their reactions to the substance.
"Not only do they cause a burning sensation in the mouth when ingested, but they may also do so in the throat, esophagus, stomach, lower gastrointestinal tract and even on the way out," Christiansen said.
