Mexican authorities are warning about the dangers of a viral TikTok challenge that has left school students intoxicated after taking a controlled medication. With the slogan "The last one to fall asleep wins," the challenge consists of trying to stay awake after taking clonazepam, a drug used to treat seizures, panic attacks and anxiety.Paramedics treated five intoxicated minors at a school in Mexico City, the capital's public security department said Thursday.None of the students became seriously ill.
"Unfortunately, challenges that spread through networks often put people's health at risk," said Nuevo Leon health secretary Alma Rosa. In 2022, a number of deaths were linked to an asphyxiation challenge that became popular on the app, which lead to TikTok restricting searches for the challenge and urging users not to take part in dangerous trends.
