The Sacramento Bee is reporting that three students at Lodi High School participated in the one chip challenge, and it led them to be hospitalized.
“We have had a number of our Lodi High students take part in the ‘one chip challenge’ on the school campus, which entails eating a chip that has been covered in pepper and hot sauce that causes the individual to react and become ill," Chelsea Vongehr, the school’s spokeswoman said in a statement.
“We encourage our parents/guardians to speak with their children about the dangers of participating in this and other potentially harmful internet challenges," Chelsea continued.
Chelsea also said that the three students who were initially hospital as a result of the challenge have since returned to school.
