Jacob Stevens' family said the teen was attempting what's been dubbed the 'Benadryl Challenge' on TikTok when his body began seizing.
GREENFIELD, Ohio — A Southwest Ohio family is grieving the death of a 13-year-old boy who overdosed on over-the-counter allergy medication.
Stevens' family told WSYX that the teen was at home with his friends earlier this month when he overdosed. His friends were filming him down the tablets when his body began seizing. The trend surfaced on TikTok in 2020, first making headlines when a 15-year-old Oklahoma girl fatally overdosed while attempting it. The FDA has since addressed the trend.
He said just because many medications are available over the counter, it doesn't mean they can't be deadly. "It's hard to know how prevalent it is, how many teens are looking at it, how many teens do this, how many teens don't," he said."So all we know is there has been an increase in these kind of ingestions, that we have been seeing more severe outcomes and certainly that is worrisome."
