The TikTok challenge, widely referred to as the 'Salt Challenge', sees teens pouring salt directly into their mouths from the container down their throats. Several videos of teens and adults taking up the challenge are going viral on social media and experts have warned that it can have terrible side effects, leading to stroke and fatalities.

A TikTok user shared a video of 'Salt Challenge' with the caption, "Just being professional at work. Should I try a cup of salt?"

Another TikTok user, who goes by the name of Jonathan, attempted the challenge and captioned his video, "Salt challenge! This was disgusting."
