Dangerous teen challenge: Snorting condoms

A dangerous, potentially deadly, internet challenge is making a comeback.

Another internet challenge has some parents on alert for a potentially deadly internet trend, condom snorting.

Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, the Seattle Mama Doc, said, "The big risk here, of course, is that you could inhale or cause suffocation to a child by snorting or inhaling that condom. You don't want latex in the middle of your airway."

Dr. Swanson says it could also damage the child's nose. She says condom snorting appears to have started in the mid-2000s but is making a come back.

Internet challenges rule the world wide web but long gone are the days of milk-chugging and spoonfuls of cinnamon.

The Tide pod challenge brought millions to a halt, the Carolina reaper challenge seemed to affect anyone who tried the spicy pepper, but the condom challenge is different because of the tool employed.

"It's all about progress; this is better than eating tide pods," said one man.

"It's crazy and dangerous, and parents should be quite alarmed to learn this is the new phenomenon," one father said..

All of these challenges are done to garner likes, clicks, and attention.
