A new online challenge doing the rounds on the internet has ended in tragedy for a 15-year-old Oklahoma girl.

, the teenager died last week from a Benadryl overdose after she took part in a social media fad known as the ’Benadryl challenge'.

Experts have warned that high doses of the active ingredient in allergy medication can lead to life-threatening side effects, including heart attack, stroke, seizures, brain damage, and even death. The challenge seems to be limited to the US where three teens were rushed to hospital after they swallowed excessive doses of Benadryl, allegedly as part of the challenge.
