Why does cinnamon make you choke




















Which is not what the cinnamon challenge is. A normal person should cough and clear out all but an incidental amount of cinnamon. I love that medical journals are addressing what's happening on the Internet.

They even made puns. Should people know that getting too much cinnamon too near their lungs is potentially unhealthy? Is it possible that in 40 years we see a rash of chronic lung disease that we trace back to massive cinnamon exposures? In my opinion, not likely. Can particles get into your lungs and cause a fatal asthma attack? Also possible, but the worst thing definitively reported in the roughly five years that this has been an Internet trend is someone coughing so hard that their lung collapsed.

I threw her over my shoulder" and drove to a nearby emergency room. Dejah was hospitalized for four days and went home with an inhaler and said she still has to use it when she gets short of breath from running or talking too fast.

Her dad said she'd never had asthma or breathing problems before. Dejah said she'd read about the challenge on Facebook and other social networking sites and "thought it would be cool" to try. He successfully was able to swallow the cinnamon after chewing for a few seconds and then taking a small swig of water. The AAPCC recommends that parents speak to their children about the risks of this behavior and caution them not to try it.
