It does not take long for sensitive videos to go viral on the video-sharing site Tik Tok. Most often, people become so interested in these sensitive videos that even after many days or months, such videos are relived. There is this crazy trend about a chicken recipe dubbed “Sleepy chicken” on Tik Tok. The videos have since gone viral.
What Is the ‘Sleepy Chicken’ TikTok viral video all about?
It is a video which entails cooking chicken meat in the liquid form of NyQuil. What is NyQuil? NyQuil is a medication administered to treat the symptoms of cold and flu. The medication contains sedatives which have the tendency of causing drowsiness in the user.
Some Tik Tok users have started using the medication in their chicken recipe. In one viral video, the fellow cooking the chicken said: “I got sick last night so I’m cooking up some NyQuil chicken.”
In another viral video shared by one TikTok user in 2021, the person in the video was heard saying: “You know, you might be too good for NyQuil sauteed chicken. But one of us is gonna have a full belly and sleep very well tonight.” People in recent times follow these trends blindly without the slightest thought of health implications.
What are medical practitioners saying about this viral “Sleepy Chicken” videos?
Any wrongful use of drugs is quite dangerous. Medical practitioners have warned about the dangers of the “Nyquil chicken” recipe.
Dr. Aaron Hartman, a physician and assistant clinical professor of family medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University, told Mic.com: “When you cook cough medicine like NyQuil, you boil off the water and alcohol in it, leaving the chicken saturated with a super concentrated amount of drugs in the meat.”
It only shows that those who are nurturing the very thoughts of following the crazy chicken recipe trend are doing so at their own detriment. The public is therefore warned to beware of anything which will have negative consequences on their health.
