A 14-year-old boy from Massachusetts died shortly after eating a spicy tortilla chip for a viral — and incredibly dangerous — social media stunt. On Friday, Harris Wolobah took part in the "one chip challenge," CBS News' WBZ reported, an online trend that involves eating a spicy chip containing Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers.
Harris' mother, Lois Wolobah, told the outlet that she picked her son up from Doherty Memorial High School after a school nurse called her saying Harris had fainted after eating the chip a friend gave him. Harris was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead, Lois told NBC-10 Boston. At this time, the Wolobah family is waiting for a cause of death from the Massachusetts Medical Examiner's Office pending an autopsy. Harris' parents said Harris was a healthy basketball player with no known allergies, and are convinced that the chip was what made their son fall ill.
