6/24 - JMN IN-DEPTH - "The Benadryl Challenge"

Mike McCormick from Florida's Poison Control Centers joins JMN to raise awareness to "The Benadryl Challenge." What is that, you ask? The “Benadryl Challenge” is a viral social-media trend that encourages young people to take dangerous amounts of the over-the-counter (OTC) drug diphenhydramine (DHP), that has led to the deaths of several young people. Mike shares ways to inform, educate, and promote safety against this and similar social media campaigns. If you have questions about this, other trending substances (Kratom, 7OH "Tranq," NO2 "Whippets", etc), or about the risks of opioid or OTC overdoses, or other concerns reach out to Florida's Poison Control Centers at 800-222-1222, or FLORIDAPOISONCONTROL.ORG .
