Blackout Challenge

The Blackout Challenge, also known as the "choking game," is a dangerous activity where individuals intentionally restrict their breathing by tightening the neck with a noose, belt, or hand, in an attempt to achieve a brief and intense feeling of euphoria or a "high." This practice can lead to loss of consciousness, brain damage, or death due to lack of oxygen. It's particularly risky among adolescents seeking thrill or peer approval. Awareness and education about its dangers are essential to prevent tragedies associated with this hazardous activity.
