FDA warns against cooking chicken in NyQuil

The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has issued a warning against cooking chicken in NyQuil after a social media challenge encouraged young viewers to try it.

The FDA wrote, “one social media trend relying on peer pressure is online video clips of people misusing nonprescription medications and encouraging viewers to do so too.”

“These video challenges, which often target youths, can harm people — and even cause death.”

The trend challenges people to cook chicken in NyQuil or similar over-the-counter cough and cold medications; however boiling certain medications can be harmful to health, let alone be eaten.
