In Brazil, a 7-year-old girl lost her life when she was infected with a video that she saw on the internet and wanted to test her courage.
The death of a seven-year-old girl in Brazil has raised concerns about the growing "courageous videos" on the internet. These videos, which challenge each other and encourage them to repeat what they are doing, are spreading among children who want to test their courage and test their strengths.
INTERNET VIEW AFFECT
Adrielly Gonçalves, who was influenced by the video she saw on the internet and deodorized into her, died in a hospital where she was removed in Sao Paulo with sudden cardiac insufficiency. A close friend, Adrielly on Facebook sharing a video watched on YouTube, affected by a deodorant and announced that he died.

His relative said, "He was an innocent child, deodorant, and we must warn his parents to keep track of what children are watching on the internet."
A large number of YouTube users have shared images captured while taking deodorant breaths, and these images have reached thousands of people. These deodorant videos are just one of thousands of "courageous videosu" circulating on the internet.
In some videos, users are encouraged to hold their breath until they fainted, and others are trying to get the condom out of their nostrils. In some videos, too many people may be eating powdered cinnamon or consuming alcoholic beverages.
All these videos are a feature that can put your health in danger, but it is spreading on the internet.
WHY CHOKE MAY BE
DimiCuida, an NGO working to raise awareness of youth and parents about the dangers of such games in Brazil, says that 24,000 in a week in Portuguese and 800,000 in English have been published in games of courage about breathing.
"The number of videos that can cause drowning increases every day if you count condoms and cinnamon videos," says BBC Brazilian psychologist Fabiana Vasconselos.
Instagram and Snapchat are invited on game forums to increase participation in courageous games. But the biggest source is still YouTube.
SPECIALS WARNING
A year ago, a 14-year-old boy in Sao Vicente was found dead in a bedrock around his neck. Police say the child may have been affected by one of these courageous videos.
Marcos Palumbo, from the Sao Paulo Firefight, said, "It's a lot of accident in this way, because the kids are taking part in these challenging games because they want their friends, and the results are usually very bad, heavy injuries and deaths."
The President of the Sao Paulo Medical School, Anthony Wong, noted that deodorant play was very dangerous, especially because it contained alcohol at high levels.
"The alcohol level ranges from 70 to 90 percent, much higher than whiskey or absinthe," says Wong, "when you're breathing in, the alcohol is being sucked in high proportion, causing burning in the throat and sudden cardiac arrest."
