Latest TikTok Challenge Dangerous to Feet: MD Podiatrist

A podiatrist has said TikTok users risk “a lifetime of pain and disability” by copying a viral trend to drop objects including air fryers and toasters on their feet. Dr. Michaels,  said the trend could risk lasting damage. “I find the viral #droppingthingsonmyfeet TikTok trend troubling and strongly encourage readers not to engage in this risky challenge.”

“This trend, encouraging participants to drop sharp and increasingly heavy household objects on their feet, is highly likely to result in foot injuries. TikTok is particularly popular among young people, who may be setting themselves up for a lifetime of pain and disability if they significantly damage the nerves, bones, and joints of their feet.”
