Do You Know What I Hate: Challenges

You know those challenges on YouTube? Like the Cinnamon Challenge, Gallon of Milk Challenge, WarHeads Challenge, Banana Sprite Challenge, the ERASER Challenge, the Salt and Ice Challenge, and etc. It really makes me mad, because they're damaging themselves, and know the risk factors. But, they're so stupid and "into" the challenge, they end up doing it themselves. It's complete stupidity. You should know what happens because you already saw someone else do it. I think the Cinnamon Challenge is the stupid one. It dries out your mouth, absorbing all your saliva, and the people can't breathe and end up aspirating it. The cinnamon turns into little clumps and can clog up the airway. If aspirated, it can cause irritation, discomfort, burning, and/or itching. Vomiting is also another risk of doing the cinnamon challenge. (Source from Wikipedia- Cinnamon Challenge: Safety Hazards) Most people ignore these risks, and end up doing it anyway. Another one is the Eraser Challenge. I found out about it last year, and noticed what happened to my fellow peers. Apparently, you're suppose to...ummm...."erase" it on your skin really fast, and you end up with these burns on your skin. I saw most of my friends with these burns, and I asked what they were from, and they said that it was from the eraser challenge. Stupidity. Even my Math teacher thought it was stupid. He said whoever did the Eraser Challlenge is an idiot for doing it. And he's correct. My Emo-Demon-Like friend said she did it and she said,
"Usually two people do it, but if they BOTH use the eraser, it's basically passing bacteria, right?" Um, it's actually passing stupidity, my demon friend. People, please, look at the risks before attempting it yourself. I bet if people pay attention more, there won't be an idiots in the ER.
