Benadryl Challenge: Dangerous TikTok Trend | Harrisburg News
Description
TikTok’s “Benadryl challenge” is a deadly hoax—two teens in Lancaster County ended up in the ICU after overdosing. This dangerous trend, which resurfaced after 2020, tricks users into thinking they can get high off an OTC allergy drug, but the dose needed for hallucinations is perilously close to lethal. Diphenhydramine causes extreme drowsiness and disorientation, and overdoses are real. The maker of Benadryl calls it “extremely dangerous” and is working with platforms to remove content. If you or someone you know is struggling, call Poison Control or 911. Stay safe.
