Three Australian children end up in hospital in Sydney as they try to mimic one of the trials of the popular South Korean Netfix series Squid Game ("Squid Game)".
In particular, the test - which has gone viral on TikTok - involves drawing a shape out of a thin sheet of honeycomb without breaking it.
Although the test seems innocent, young children are injured by boiled sugar and even have severe burns and nerve damage.
According to a post by the Russian network RT, 14-year-old Eden Higgie was one of the children admitted to the hospital last month due to the test and suffered third-degree burns to his legs, as he had melted sugar in a cup that should not be used in a microwave oven, which then exploded. .
The doctor of the pediatric hospital, Dr. Eric La Haye said these were not isolated cases, with incidents reported in both Perth and Melbourne, while health professionals in Birmingham and the United Kingdom saw an increase in similar incidents among children this week.
At the same time, eight people reportedly lost their lives last week when two gangs opened fire on a "Squid Game" Halloween party in Santa Ana, Panama.
