In response to a growing trend on social media, the Food and Drug Administration published a public warning this week about the dangers of taking too much of an allergy medication, diphenhydramine, commonly known as Benadryl.¡°We are aware of news reports of teenagers ending up in emergency rooms or dying after participating in the ¡°Benadryl Challenge¡± encouraged in videos posted on the social media application TikTok,¡± the statement reads.When a teen girl died in August in Oklahoma City, her family blamed the 15-year-old¡¯s death on a Benadryl overdose. The family blamed a ¡°challenge¡± on TikTok where participants take a dozen or so doses of the allergy medication to experience hallucinations.Earlier this year, there were reports out of Fort Worth, Texas that three teens became sick and had to be rushed to the hospital after taking large amounts of the medication. According to Newsweek, when they recovered, the teens told officers they had taken the allergy medication as part of the TikTok challenge.Taking more than the recommended dose of Benadryl ¡°can lead to serious heart problems, seizures, coma, or even death,¡± the FDA states.¡°We are investigating these reports and conducting a review to determine if additional cases have been reported,¡± the FDA stated. ¡°We also contacted TikTok and strongly urged them to remove the videos from their platform and to be vigilant to remove additional videos that may be posted.¡±Johnson & Johnson, who manufacture Benadryl, released a statement to media outlets stating, in part, ¡°The health and safety of people who use our products is our top priority. The BENADRYL TikTok trend is extremely concerning, dangerous and should be stopped immediately.¡±The FDA reminds parents and caregivers to lock up medicines to prevent accidental overdoses. They warn that with more children at home during the coronavirus pandemic, teens may be more likely to experiment. 1926

It¡¯s no secret we have a connection, possibly obsession, with our smartphones. Often, it¡¯s the first thing we see when we wake up and the last thing before we go to bed. A recent survey wanted to find out what Americans would be willing to sacrifice to keep their phones.About 40 percent of participants would rather be separated from their dog for a month, than be separated from their smartphone for that long.Slightly more, 42 percent, would rather be separated from their significant other than their device for a month. Although, after months of a pandemic and stay-at-home orders, we could all use some space.More than 60 percent would be willing to give up coffee for a month instead of their phone, and 72 percent would rather give up wine for a month.OK, sure, but what about enduring sometimes annoying or awkward situations. About 44 percent would rather serve five days of jury duty than be without their device for five days. And 47 percent would rather stay with their in-laws for a month, than give up their smartphone for a month.The survey was conducted by SimpleTexting, looking at results from 1,000 smartphone users across the country.On the brightside, these are just hypothetical, and there does not appear to be any effort to take away smartphones. Yet. 1284

It's been nearly 20 years since "Home Improvement" went off the air, but a new report indicates the show may be coming back for a reboot.One of the stars of the show, Richard Karn, told Closer Weekly that he spoke with Tim Allen about the show."I just talked to (Tim Allen) about it," Karn told Closer. "And I think (Pat Richardson) and the kids would be on board."The news comes after the successful reboots of shows like "Roseanne" and "Will and Grace."In March, Allen told Entertainment Tonight that the idea for a "Home Improvement" reboot idea has been floated around. He also said he would be on board with getting the gang back together."I like that idea. I still miss 'Last Man Standing.' We didn't get our seventh year. I adored that show," he told ET. "It's like having a new dog and now to go back to the old dog? I don't know. I like both characters, but yeah, I'd be very interested in that idea."Allen played Tim Taylor on the ABC sitcom which ran from 1991 to 1999. 988

In post-Brexit Britain, trips to the European Union will get a little more expensive for millions of Brits in search of a continental break.The European Commission confirmed on Friday that UK travelers will be required fill out an online form and cough up €7 (.90) for visa-free travel, which will be valid for three years.Natasha Bertaud, a spokeswoman for the commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker, likened the "simple form" to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) scheme used by the United States -- which requires travelers to pay to apply for permission to enter the country.She also pointed out that the EU's version, called ETIAS, will be "way cheaper."But this all comes with a major caveat. If the UK crashes out of the EU with no agreement in place, Brits will be required to get a visa to travel to the EU, a commission spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.ETIAS, which is expected to come into force in 2021, will apply to countries outside the EU whose citizens can currently travel in Europe visa free. There are currently 61 such countries, including the United States, Israel and Singapore.It will cover the so-called Schengen group of 26 European countries that share largely open land borders.The electronic visa waiver system was conceived to "identify any security or irregular migratory risks posed by visa-exempt visitors traveling to the Schengen area while at the same time facilitate crossing frontiers for the vast majority of travelers who do not pose such risks,"?according to the commission. 1554

It¡¯s a move the surgeon general hasn¡¯t taken in thirteen years ¡ª issue an official advisory. The last time was in 2005, and it concerned pregnant women and alcohol. But on Thursday, Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams announced a new advisory regarding Naloxone, the drug that combats an opioid overdose and encouraged more people to carry it with them for themselves or others. According to the Surgeon General¡¯s release, ¡°Knowing how to use naloxone and keeping it within reach can save a life.¡±And administering Naloxone ¡ª Narcan is the most common name brand ¡ª is actually relatively simple, doctors say.Aaron Wolfe is an emergency room doctor at Presbyterian/St. Lukes Medical Center in Denver and likens it to using an Epi-pen for allergic reactions ¡ª except this is even easier.¡°You don¡¯t even have to worry about needles or somebody being stuck,¡± Wolfe said.¡°When people are close to death from opioids it usually stops their breathing, so this drug will reverse that,¡± Wolfe added. ¡°It¡¯ll make them be able to breathe again regain full consciousness.¡±All you have to do is spray the drug into a person¡¯s nostril. They do not have to inhale.Most pharmacies carry the drug. In 46 states, you don¡¯t even need a prescription to obtain it. If you have insurance, it¡¯s usually covered, but if you don¡¯t it¡¯ll cost around 0 to 0. 1357
