Davi Nunes Moreira, 14, died in hospital in Planalto, Brazil last Thursday after telling staff he had injected a solution made of crushed butterfly into his leg.
Believed to have carried out the dangerous procedure as part of an 'online challenge', Moreira began vomiting and struggled to walk before admitting his mistake.
The youngster was taken into hospital by his father and remained in the Vitória da Conquista general hospital for a week, receiving specialised support, before he died.

FAFO
My God, kids are stupid these days...
Trumps fault. He cancelled the USAID grant to provide clean needles for Brazilian butterfly injection addicts.
They need to have a TikTok challenge where you work hard, get good grades, plan for your future and succeed in life.
Tik Tok makes you stupid, it’s all part of the CCP plan for America.
yeah, the “don’t steal any cars for a week” challenge
“They call me mellow yellow…..”
that’s a really good soda, too
DARWIN AWARD WINNER!
my dad loved 3 things more than life itself— smoking, drinking and gambling. He died of smoking and drinking. But even my dad wouldn’t have injected himself with butterfly.
Mama always said stupid is as stupid does.
Wait!, There’s More!!
OK Kids, Now Stick Pins in Your Eyes!
From the article
“Last April, an online influencer from Brazil nearly required amputation after taking part in an ill-advised viral trend for her two million followers.
‘Thammy MC’ was left unable to walk after standing in a bucket of ice and salt for an online ‘dare’ that turned her feet black and nearly required the amputation of her toes.
‘We spent 15 minutes with our feet on the ice with coarse salt,’ she said, recounting the horror.
‘When I took my foot out I never felt such pain in my life. Three of my toes had turned black when it came out of the ice bucket.’
Thammy was treated at a clinic where she was told she was at risk of thrombosis, and that she could have developed necrosis had she remained in the ice another minute.
Unable to put any pressure on her feet, she said she now gets around the house by being dragged around in a garden chair by her mother, who pushes her from room to room.”
“Nature’s way of weeding out the dumb & stupid”
My standard reaction to every story like this.
Tik Tok does have such a challenge, but it’s only disseminated to their users in China
Anthony Fauci comes to mind, in youth.
Our thing was bell bottoms, long hair and going out in public barefooted. When we grew up, we bought khakis, got a haircut and put our shoes back on.
There's no getting rid of tatts.
They obviously don’t have anything productive to do. I’m surprised this happened in Brazil. Sounds like something the average unparented kid with no responsibilities nor work does in the U.S.
When I was at Benning I remember the company participating in a Mellow Yellow 5K run in downtown Columbus. I don’t recall being forced to drink any Mellow Yellow or anything, but we did get a Mellow Yellow t-shirt.
my dad jumped off his home’s roof and yelled “Shazam!” hoping he would turn into Captain Marvel. It didn’t work so he tried it again with an umbrella and broke his leg true story.
