There is major concern within many health and medical communities that these types of TikTok trends are causing more harm than good as people want to jump on while it's hot, without considering the effects it could have on their bodies.

Humans are not created equally and just as one person might be allergic to peanuts, another might not be. Sometimes these trends could end horribly.
