Snorting entire condom through the nose and bringing it out from the mouth, the latest disturbing trend ‘condom challenge’

A research carried out shows that the spermicidal lubricant found on most condoms can also irritate the inner lining of the nose and cause allergic reaction or infection.

While accidentally swallowing the condom could also lead to serious complications.

Bruce Lee, an associated professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, addressed the trend in an opinion piece for Forbes posted Saturday.

He said: ‘When is using a condom a bad idea? When you are trying to snort it up your nose and pull it out through your mouth,’ he wrote.

‘Even if you manage to successfully pull the condom out through your mouth, inhaling a condom up your nose would be very uncomfortable and potentially quite painful.

‘Would it really be worth all that just to get more likes and views?’
