“If your friends are telling you to do this, they aren’t good friends,” Dr. Ed Bartkus, of Indiana University Health, told Fox 59. Last summer, an 11-year-old girl in New York suffered burns to her face and chest after her friends had poured hot water on her. In Florida, a variation of the challenge tragically killed an 8-year-old girl last summer after she attempted to drink boiling hot water through a straw. Ki’ari Pope and her cousin had allegedly been watching videos of the challenge, and the scalding hot water caused fatal injuries to her throat. “There’s a limit to what you should do in a challenge and what you shouldn’t,” Clark told Fox 59.
