I'm skeptical about it. I can imagine it happening, but its for a tick tok show that nobody bothers to verify the facts of. I haven't been to tik-tok, yet; but I have seen some of chubby-emu's stuff about it. There are some really stupid competitions on there such as seeing who can survive the most nutmeg poisoning! Also people say all kinds of crazy false things on talk radio and are never called out so why not on tik-tok?
That being said I can't verify that chubby-emu's story is true either....
Still, his story is at least medically plausible.
