    The One Chip Challenge is a social media challenge that involves
    eating purportedly the spiciest tortilla chip in the world, then
    waiting as long as possible before eating or drinking something for
    relief. The chip, made by Paqui, comes in a coffin container and has a
    warning that it should be kept away from children, is only for adults
    to eat, and shouldn't be eaten by anyone who's sensitive to spicy food
    or with an allergen.

    Anyone who has difficulty breathing, faints or has extended nausea is
    urged to seek medical assistance, according to a Paqui web page for
    the One Chip Challenge.

    NBC10 Boston has asked the district why Harris was sent home from
    the nurse's office rather than to the hospital, as well as whether the district will take further action on the chips.
    I'll take that question: Because that's what you do for a tummy ache.
    There was no reason to believe he was in medical distress.

    BTW: I've done the one chip challenge, and the warning labels don't lie.
    It's not for the faint of heart and it will make you feel sick.

    Unknown, but note there can be fatal incidents related to a human's
    DNA coding.

    On another note, one person's heart attack is perceived in the chest,
    while another person's heart attacked is perceived in a toe.

    Most people's symptoms points to a specific condition, but there are
    exceptions to the rule.
