FDA Warns Against Cooking Chicken in NyQuil, a Dangerous Social Media Challenge
The Food and Drug Administration is warning about the dangers of a social media challenge that involves cooking chicken in NyQuil. Dubbed “NyQuil chicken” or “sleepy chicken,” the challenge involves cooking chicken breasts in a pan while they're coated in NyQuil.for months, but seems to have picked up in popularity again recently. The FDA specifically warns that making NyQuil chicken could be “very unsafe” and “even cause death.
“NyQuil is a combination of three different medications that each have different effects,” says Mark Conroy, M.D., emergency medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Acetaminophen is a pain reliever, dextromethorphan acts as a cough suppressant, and doxylamine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine in the body, relieving allergy-like symptoms.”
Cooking this odd combination can even hurt your lungs, the FDA says. “Put simply: Someone could take a dangerously high amount of the cough and cold medicine without even realizing it,” the warning reads. That can cause you to take large quantities of the medication and put you at risk for a slew of potentially serious issues. “Acetaminophen can cause liver toxicity. Doxylamine can cause drowsiness, disorientation, and a slow heart rate," Alan says. "Phenylephrine can increase blood pressure. Dextromethorphan is the typical drug that people desire to concentrate from cough medications. Side effects from dextromethorphan include dizziness, nausea and can also include arrhythmia and coma.
