Dangerous trend: 'The condom snorting challenge'

Another disturbing viral video challenge, "the condom snorting challenge." Teenagers are recording themselves putting unwrapped condoms up their nostrils and inhaling them until the condom comes out of their mouth. Doctors say the trending challenge could have dangerous effects on your health.

Tide Pods are so January.

Now teens are taking on an even grosser challenge in pursuit of Internet fame — and this one is making stomachs turn, as it is as disgusting as it is dangerous.

The latest challenge involves snorting a condom up one nostril, inhaling, and finally pulling it from the throat out the mouth.

Like other viral fads, this one has been around for years but is just now catching fire on social media, mostly via YouTube.

Health authorities warn that the new "game" poses a real risk and can kill.

Anything that goes up one’s nose “can damage the sensitive inner lining of your nose, cause an allergic reaction, or result in an infection,” wrote Bruce Y. Lee, associate professor of international health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in a column for Forbes.

“The condom could easily get stuck in your nose or your throat, blocking your breathing or causing you to choke,” he added.

Forbes cites two cases reviewed in medical journals in which women accidentally swallowed condoms, developing ailments ranging from pneumonia to appendicitis.

“Even if you manage to successfully pull the condom out through your mouth, inhaling a condom up your nose would be very uncomfortable and potentially quite painful,” Lee wrote. “Would it really be worth all that just to get more likes and views?”

Those teens ought to stick a condom in one of their ears and pull it out the other ear.
Obviously, there isn't anything in between.

I think these teens need a new Sex Ed teacher...

This has been going on for years, I'm sure it was some crazy comedian who was doing it!
F#ck nose why

then it must be cow's nose.......think god back those nut age mostly the lads are just usually blow it as the balloon anyway~~~~~~

That's common core for ya.
It's pronounced "co" caine. Not "coc" aine.


In middle school a friend of mine would do that with cooked spaghetti noodles.
Snort one end through his nose, then slowly pull it back and forth like dental floss.
Many times we'd compete to see if we could do it too, or if we could get each other to spray milk or soda from the nose.
I guess condoms are lubed. I wonder if the ridges for her pleasure are cleaning out the boogers or anything.

Unrelated, but sometimes we'd bring a six pack of near beer to a party, tell someone it was real beer, and watch them start acting drunk after they had 2 or 3 of them and begin saying things like "I'm so wasted!" or "I've never been so drunk!" and they'd stumble around, slur their words, sometimes throw up.


Don't drug mules routinely swallow multiple condoms filled with drugs?

And two cases out of how many instances?
I mean 2 cases out of 1,000,000 people swallowing condoms?


I still think drinking and driving, speeding, and texting while driving are bigger issues for teens.

I think it's hilarious states enacted a no firearms under 21 rule.
"You are constitutionally guaranteed the right to bear arms as an adult...plus three years.
Oh, you're sixteen? Here's some car keys, for your state privilege I'm sure you'll make great decisions at speed and will never abuse your vehicles power potential."
