Don't cook your chicken in NyQuil, the FDA warns after a TikTok challenge that encouraged people to try it went viral.
“Teens’ brains are still developing. The part of the brain that handles rational thought, the prefrontal cortex, is not fully developed until the mid-20s,” the American Academy of Pediatrics said. “This means teens are naturally more impulsive and likely to act before thinking through all of the ramifications.”
“It’s a quick moving, impulsive environment, and the fear of losing out is real for teens,” the academy said. “What they will focus on is that a popular kid in class did this and got hundreds of likes and comments.” “Sometimes kids are more willing to talk about their peers than themselves,” it said. “Asking questions about school trends, friends and fads may yield more answers than direct questions about their own activities.”
