US health officials have warned of the dangers posed by the latest deadly dare sweeping the internet: The Fire Challenge.
Those taking part in the challenge douse themselves in flammable liquids and set fire to themselves, then extinguish the flames as quickly as they can, uploading the videos onto sites including YouTube and Facebook.
Santa Clara county health officials in California have warned of the dangers posed by the game, and say that several taking part in it have suffered severe burns as a result.
A number of kids have suffered second- and third-degree burns across the country, said Joy Alexiou, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center spokeswoman. There are long-term consequences. Weeks if not months of rehab, lifelong scarring and disfigurement and movement loss, because the tissue will be tight when it heals.

The latest victims of public education...
Darwinism at work.
Sounds like a new level has been achieved in the Darwin Awards.
The 2014 Darwin Award candidates will be very large this year...
And yet America’s schools are now teaching teens about sadomasochism, safe words, “safe” partner abuse, rape fantasy, etc.
And not in the “danger, don’t do it” sense, but teaching them about safe words and the varieties of sex available to those who do not have complimentary genitalia.
You beat me by a millisecond!
“Hold my beer and watch this”, This younger generation are idiots.
Lack of parenting can take a bow to this stupidity.
Public education can't be blamed for poor parenting!
They need to learn socialization skills you know.
They need to learn socialization skills you know.
This is nothing new.
The band Big Black released a song called Kerosene in 1987.
I was born in this town
Live here my whole life
Probably come to die in this town
Live here my whole life
Never anything to do in this town
Live here my whole life
Never anything to do in this town
Live here my whole life
Probably learn to die in this town
Live here my whole life
Nothing to do, sit around at home
Sit around at home, stare at the walls
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Probably come to die in this town
Live here my whole life

Let the idiots thin out the herd. Or at the very least render them sterile so they can not pass on their inferior genes.
Each generation has its share of risk taking males
These are the achievers. The inferior gene pool can't figure out how to strike a match.
When many parents have no common sense it’s reflected in their offspring.
This will confirm the perp’s utter stupidity as a “pre-existing condition”, allowing for treatment & subsequent coverage under Obamacare ....
Maybe Kerosene was a girls name. It would not be the dumbest name that black parents have named their babies.
