Latest 'Vacuum Challenge' craze could have fatal consequences, health experts warn
A new social media challenge involving a vacuum cleaner and trash bags has gone viral, much to the dismay of health experts, who warn that the idiotic trend could have fatal results.
Numerous videos have emerged on YouTube showing participants of the “Vacuum Challenge” — also known as the “Trash Bag Challenge” — climbing into a garbage bag and letting another person suck the air out with a vacuum hose, often until it becomes so tight that the person topples over, according to Yahoo News.
Experts warn that the challenge can lead to cerebral hypoxia, which is a condition that leads to a decrease of oxygen supply to the brain, despite the presence of adequate blood flow, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
“Brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cut off,” the institute says.
Participants who take on the challenge alone risk getting stuck since the vacuum-sealed bags make it difficult to move.
I'm thinking that anyone who takes this 'challenge' doesn't have all that many brain cells to start out with and that they should hold on to the two or three that they have left.
If they want a real challenge maybe they should try the same thing using Space Bags?
The real challenge is first eat some Tide pods, then get into the bag with an apple on your head and suck all the air out, then have your drunk, tide pod eating brother in law to shoot the apple with a bow and arrow. Now THAT would be a challenge
heck with the bow and arrow thing, I can do that at 40 yards, on LSD... use a 12 ga shotgun, w/ 00-Buckshot.. but please kids, be safe... hold a pie pan up over your face... just so momma doesn't have to see her precious little boy deformed... hold my beer...

Wasp spray used as meth alternative in West Virginia, possibly linked to 3 overdoses: police
At least three overdose deaths in West Virginia may be linked to a growing trend in Boone County where police believe drug users are turning to wasp spray as an alternative form of methamphetamine.
Sgt. Charles Sutphin with the West Virginia State Police said that people are using the cans of insect repellent to create a “synthetic” version of the drug.
"We're seeing this here on the streets in Boone County," Sutphin told Charleston's WCHS-TV. "People are making a synthetic type methamphetamine out of wasp spray."
Sutphin said the wasp spray can cause erratic behavior and extreme swelling of the hands and feet. He also warned that users can experience a fatal allergic reaction to the synthetic drug after repeated use.
"From what we're being told, if you use it, you know, you might use it once or twice and be fine, but the third time when your body hits that allergic reaction, it can kill you.”
The local station reported Monday that stores in Boone County sold nearly 30 cans of wasp spray on Friday alone.
State police believe at least three overdose deaths last week are tied to the use of the spray as a meth alternative.
