An Indianapolis, Indiana teen is speaking out on the dangers of a social media challenge after he received severe burns after unwittingly participating in one. The challenge, known as the “Hot Water Challenge,” left him so severely burned that he said his skin “just fell off” his chest and face.
The Hot Water Challenge made national headlines in 2017, and it has been making its rounds on social media for about three years before that. The challenge entails either a person sipping boiling hot water through a straw or getting the boiling water poured directly on them.
The same thing happened to 15-year-old Kyland Clark, and he described to WKRG how he received the serious injuries shortly after he and a friend looked up the Hot Water Challenge on YouTube. Afterward, his friend reenacted the events in the video and badly injured Kyland as part of a prank.
