The One Chip Challenge is a dangerous challenge circulating on social media. It involves eating an extremely spicy chip and filming your reaction. A student from the Saint-Louis Institute in Waremme ended up in the emergency room following testing it.
Mouth on fire, irritated throat and sweating face: the 14-year-old rushes to the educators’ room. With a few friends, he has just eaten a rather spicy chip, made with the Carolina Reaper, the hottest pepper in the world.
“The student was trembling, and so we called the parents and so finally, they went to the hospital. Nothing too serious, but still, still a worrying condition”explains Christophe Kersten, director of the Saint-Louis Institute.
To find out for sure, the director decided to also test these spicy chips and can now only advise once morest it.
“It’s true that I tested it, it was to see what it did, and it’s true, I confirm that it is very spicy and very irritating for the tongue. Consequently, it is still not recommended, I imagine it’s not very good for your health”adds Christophe Kersten.
On the social network TikTok, the One Chip Challenge pushes many teenagers to film themselves eating it. The management of this Waremme school has warned the parents of the students and asks them to remain vigilant.
“It was relatively stupid to eat very spicy chips without really knowing what we were doing, so we urge caution and avoid repeating this type of act.“, said the director once more.
According to health professionals, taking on this challenge is not without risks. A month ago, an American teenager died.
