The sticky frozen honey TikTok trend that makes people sick


Influencer Dave Ramirez started a new TikTok trend that might be more dangerous than fun – eating frozen honey from a water bottle. With honey being a staple kitchen pantry item, the trend quickly became a movement. Unfortunately, as the trend’s popularity grows, more social media users have vocalized feeling sick after participating. Many claim to have symptoms like stomachaches, toothaches, and diarrhea.
