China — A couple's prank turned into an unexpected incident after they tried to copy a viral online trend in which a man licked his girlfriend's hand. Instead of being hilarious, the prank ended up in the emergency room.
According to the video circulating online, the man can be seen holding his girlfriend's hand in his mouth—but suddenly it won't come off. As time goes on, the man can be seen struggling to breathe, saliva starts to flow, and his face shows extreme pain.
Due to the constant blockage of his throat, the two were forced to go to the hospital while still “sticking” to each other. The entire incident was recorded by their friends, which has now spread on social media.
According to the report, the couple imitated a funny video online that showed a man “eating” his girlfriend’s hand. They did not expect it to cause any danger, especially since the woman’s hand seemed to be stuck in the man’s throat.
Fortunately, the hand was successfully removed after medical intervention, and neither of them suffered any serious injuries.
Meanwhile, the incident has garnered mixed reactions from netizens. Some commented, “There really is no cure for stupidity,” “The woman’s hand looks swollen,” “I’ve only just seen someone almost choke on their girlfriend’s hand,” and “This is terrible, a specialist should have handled this!”
