Admittedly, it is not the game of the headscarf, but one need only look at the videos which flourish on the internet to be convinced that all these games, including that of the chili pepper, are dangerous and yet full of imitations.
At the start, it’s just two teenage girls who are a little hysterical and exhibitionist who decide to tackle the most powerful pepper in the world. It can make you smile at first because they overplay the burn. But over the minutes, the sensation becomes a threat of allergic suffocation that the family has some difficulty in containing.
Youtubers take on the hottest pepper in the world
(Translation available on You Tube)
Mere viewing should be enough to deter those who are watching and might be tempted by the same experience. Probably not, if we judge by the thousands of viewings which are more the fact of candidates for the absurd.
Fortunately for chili peppers the most serious result is burns to the skin and eyes. But sufficiently serious so that the communication cell of the gendarmerie, rightly, seizes it.
The problem with the surge in this type of play is that it finds fertile ground in children.
Adolescents have always liked to experiment with their own limits, but today we are witnessing a rejuvenation of adolescent behavior, which now occurs in primary and nursery schools… And sometimes the games are dramatic. We first started with the headscarf game. The deaths concerned boys and girls, from 4 to 20 years old, from all social levels. These “games”, as their names indicate, are initially considered as fun capable of providing “thrills”, especially not a kind of provocation or call for help; it is rarely a will to transgress and exceptionally a violent or suicidal behavior.
