⚠ The risks are real. The viral "Benadryl Challenge" is making the rounds on social media again, but taking large amounts of Benadryl® (diphenhydramine) is NOT safe and can have serious, life-threatening consequences.
If someone takes too much medication, call Poison Help ASAP.

It's grilling season! Remember that a quick scrub is about more than just taste – it's about safety. Leftover debris or potential contaminants from animals (💩) can lurk on your grill.
