The short video platform TikTok will bring new trends from time to time, but some trends may affect young people who are mentally immature. Recently, many countries have issued warnings to remind them of a sudden popularity among young people because of TikTok. Candy Puffs of “Breath”. The Indonesian Ministry of Health said that more than 20 local children were injured after eating “breath of the dragon”.
“Dragon’s Breath” is a colorful candy puff. When chewed, it will produce a large amount of strong smoke, which is sprayed from the mouth and nose, just like the dragon in mythology. “Dragon’s Breath” is composed of candy pieces soaked in liquid nitrogen. This liquid is usually at minus 210 degrees Celsius, so it will produce a strong smoke effect when eaten. “Dragon’s Breath” is called Chiki Ngebul or Chikibulis in Indonesia. It has been popular for several years. However, the health department recently received 25 cases of children being injured after eating it, and two of them needed to be hospitalized.
Some Indonesian doctors pointed out that eating “Dragon’s Breath” before the liquid nitrogen has completely evaporated may cause burns or even puncture the esophagus. In severe cases, it may even lead to death. It is estimated that the number of children affected is far more than reported. Indonesian Minister of Health Maxi Rein pointed out that the candy may cause skin damage or severe breathing difficulties. European and American countries have issued warnings many years ago that this kind of candy containing liquid nitrogen is extremely dangerous to children, especially asthmatics. At that time, some doctors warned that sooner or later some people would die from it.
