tayyar.org – From joke to injury prompts concern

The "Boiling Water Challenge" has spread across social media platforms— a dangerous activity intended to test the strength of friendship or love by having two people hold hands while hot or boiling water, or tea, is poured over their hands. Videos show that participants continue to hold on until the camera stops filming; withdrawing is seen as a sign of weak bonds, while enduring the heat is viewed as a mark of strong connection. However, this challenge poses real physical risks, including burns of varying severity that can leave permanent scars and require intensive medical treatment, especially if the injury is extensive or occurs in sensitive areas. Dermatologist Dr. Wael Mansour warned that this behavior is unsafe and stressed the importance of raising awareness among families about the dangers of imitating such challenges, monitoring children and adolescents’ behavior to prevent harm, and refraining from sharing or engaging with dangerous content on digital platforms.
