The grieving father of a 13-year-old boy who overdosed on Benadryl has opened up about the dangerous trend that led to his son’s death.
Jacob Stevens died six days after attempting the deadly “Benadryl TikTok challenge,” which involves young users of the platform consuming enough of the over-the-counter medication to induce hallucinations. In the aftermath of the tragedy, the teen’s father Justin Stevens shared a heartbreaking picture of his young son in a hospital bed, where he spent a week hooked onto a ventilator before he was pronounced dead on 12 April.
