‘She always said, 'I'm going to be famous, dad'': Teen dies after viral TikTok ‘dusting' challenge
The parents of a 19-year-old who dreamed of fame and died after trying the TikTok 'dusting' trend are warning others about its deadly risks. Renna O'Rourke and her boyfriend DoorDashed aerosol keyboard cleaner to her parents' Tempe, Arizona, home without her mother's knowledge, Dana O'Rourke told 12 News. The dusting trend, also known as chroming or huffing, involves inhaling common household cleaners to get high for views online. The sensation causes brief euphoria but can cause instant, fatal damage, often due to heart failure, according to the Cleveland Clinic. After inhaling the keyboard cleaner, Renna went into cardiac arrest, spent a week unconscious in the intensive care unit, and then was declared brain-dead. Renna's parents described their late daughter as 'vivacious and caring and loyal.' Her father, Aaron O'Rourke, told 12 News that Renna loved to sing and lit up every room with her smile and laughter. 'She always said, 'I'm going to be famous, dad. Just you watch. I'm going to be famous,' and unfortunately, this is not under the most optimal of circumstances,' Aaron O'Rourke, told the outlet.. Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances, the O'Rourke family is now working to honor Renna by spreading the word about the dangers of huffing for teens and parents. 'There's no ID required. It's odorless. It's everything kids look for. They can afford it, they can get it, and it doesn't show in mom and dad's drug test,' Dana O'Rourke told AZ Family about access to the trendy chemicals. She added, 'Don't take your kid's word for it. Dig deep. Search their rooms. Don't trust — and that sounds horrible, but it could save their life.' A GoFundMe started to help the O'Rourke family with hospital bills, burial and therapy costs, and to spread awareness about huffing has surpassed its $5,000 goal and sits at over $9,000 at the time of publication.

People Are Sharing The Cooking "Myths" We've All Believed For Wayyyy Too Long, And My Mind Is Blown
Kitchen 'facts' have a way of sticking around — one viral TikTok or a chatty aunt at Thanksgiving, and suddenly everyone's sure that olive oil can't handle heat or that washing mushrooms turns them to mush. So when redditor Henroriro_XIV asked r/Cooking, 'What misinformation about cooking, that a lot of people seem to believe, bothers you the most?' the cooks didn't hold back. I sifted through the flood of replies and pulled the myths that kept popping up, along with the clear, no-nonsense fixes redditors offered to set things straight. 1."People think raw chicken must be washed. NO! It is quite risky. It can spread bacteria all over your countertop and stove, making contamination much more likely. Ew." —stevenbellomy "Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that this only exacerbates the risk of infections like Salmonella due to the splashing of the organisms onto and around your kitchen area. Wipe it down with a paper towel for physical yuckies and/or a lemon, IF YOU MUST (sometimes this helps with tenderizing and flavor if done in advance, then again, you could also just do a brine). Cooking will kill all the germs you're concerned about. Stop washing your meat." —Chaosfall27 2."Marinating chicken — it's a waste of time. It's the science of chicken muscle. It doesn't absorb anything. It coats but doesn't penetrate in any meaningful way. The only way to get flavour penetration into chicken or other poultry is by brining, particularly by injecting a brine. Acid marinades can alter the texture of the surface of a chicken, but again, don't penetrate. It can make the surface mushy or stringy. But it does not tenderize the meat. Marinating chicken is, at best, providing a coating and then exposing uncooked chicken to the air for longer than necessary. That coating could be applied more safely before cooking to the same effect. At worst, it can make the surface of the chicken mushy." —lordrothermere 3."It's not a common myth, but I've heard it at least twice, and it flabbergasts and irritates me in equal measure: Fruits and vegetables from a home garden are gross and dirty because of how they were grown, compared to those found in grocery stores. While farms use enough pesticides and herbicides to keep the produce looking darn near perfect, unless it's some high-tech hydroponic stuff, it's grown in dirt and needs to be washed, too." —Cinsay01 4."Not washing your cast iron pans with soap irritates me so much. Wash your pans and don't be gross. I wash mine with soap, water, and chainmail, then I throw it on the stove top with a dab of oil and heat it up until it smokes. Never had a problem with rust or my seasoning failing." —Thel_Odan "It's because you're legitimately not supposed to use 'strong soap' meaning lye, but dish soap (that is, weak soap) makers never bothered to distinguish what 'strong soap' actually means in their marketing, so people think Dawn is 'strong soap' when it's not even close (even if it is a strong dish soap compared to other brands). Don't use lye on cast iron, but any weak soap (meaning dish soap) is fine." —Johnny_B_GOODBOI 5."Fresh fish over frozen is so wrong because most frozen fish is flash frozen on the boat and is closer to fresh than a cold storage one that's been on the road for the same time. Same argument, different reason for canned tomatoes over fresh tomatoes; canned are picked fresh while fresh are under-ripened, picked for transportation, and gassed for color." —InquisitiveNerd 6."That it takes like 15 minutes to caramelize onions when it takes AT LEAST an hour, closer to two." —Ok_Explanation4813 7."'Only cook with a wine you'd drink.' This works as a rule if you drink bargain wine, but it's ridiculous if applied to people who drink and enjoy mid or high-priced wines. I would never drink a glass of Charles Shaw/Two-Buck-Chuck (from Trader Joe's), but that's the wine I cook with. It's cheap and tastes great when cooked in food. Yes, in a pinch, I've used pricey wine to cook with and didn't notice a difference." —mintbrownie 8."That cooking at home costs more. No. If you went to the store and bought every ingredient new, of course, that would cost a lot. People don't cook like that every meal. You need to use the leftover ingredients you bought for the cost-saving to kick in." —MyNameIsSkittles 9."'Olive oil shouldn't be used for high-heat cooking.' In reality, good-quality extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoke point than many think (around 400°F), and it's completely fine for sautéing or roasting. The myth comes from confusion between refined and unrefined oils and a bit of marketing." —jds_94 10."'Be suuuuuuper careful not to get any egg yolk in your egg whites, otherwise they can't be whipped! And wipe down your bowl/beater with vinegar to make sure there's no fat there, too!' You can whip an entire egg to medium peaks. Before chemical leavening agents (like baking soda), that was how you made cakes nice and light. You don't want any fat in your egg whites because if you're whipping egg whites, you're usually making something meringue-based, and you want meringues to be nice and dry. Fat is a moisturizer/tenderizer, so it's not welcome at the party. Still, a tiny bit won't kill a dish. Wiping down your bowl/beater with vinegar is a good idea because acid stabilizes egg whites and helps them whip up faster. If fat stopped you from being able to beat air into eggs, then mayonnaise would be impossible." —Ok_Surprise_4090 11."'Test if spaghetti is done by throwing it at a wall to see if it sticks.' Or you could like…taste it or something." —perthuz 12."While I agree that recipes often underestimate the time required, I dislike the idea that 'cooking a meal' requires a huge amount of time and effort. Even worse if the person saying it makes it into some 'I'm just sooooo busy' competition. Yes, some meals would require a lot of time and effort, but you can still make serviceable meals with a small amount of time and effort. Over time, you'll get better at cooking, and those meals will get better too." —MAMark1 13."Fancy, single-purpose gadgets will save time. The part of cooking I've learned that takes the most time is cleaning up after. More often than not, I see the fancy cutters and stirrers as an extra complicated thing to wash, dry, and store compared to the knife or spoon I would otherwise use. With a little practice, you can get the onion minced small, nearly as quickly as the swing top veggie chopper, with a lot fewer pieces with nooks and crannies to clean afterwards. I'm all for simplifying and speeding up the process, and if you have a lot of cheese to grate or veggies to chop or slice, then a gadget can be beneficial. Otherwise, for most home chefs, busy parents, or novice cooks, I say save yourself a few hundred dollars and forget about the gadgets. Any amount of time they save in prep, they'll cost double in clean up." —whydid7eat9 14."That cooking is an art that can't be taught. It's not an art. It can be explained. Good Eats taught me how to cook. Thank you, Alton Brown. My wife thanks you too." —Dragonswim "There are very few things in the world that are impossible to learn. There are tons of free resources to learn from. Look up a recipe, give it a shot, Google things you don't understand." —VividBeautiful3782 15."That the spiciest part of peppers is the seeds. This leads to people leaving the bitter seeds. The real spicy part is the pith (white part inside that holds the seeds)." —Dakkadence 16."Cook tops and burners have settings other than 'surface of the sun.' Medium is the new high, people. AND you can change the setting WHILE COOKING! Gasp." —Sixtyhurts 17."'You should only flip a steak or hamburger once.' I found this to be false. I have more control over a hamburger when I flip it multiple times. It's more important to pay close attention and check the temperature. Also, a technique for cooking steak called butter basting requires multiple flips." —rudiseeker That's the shortlist of kitchen myths Reddit is tired of hearing.

'Classmates threw Snickers at me to test my allergy'
A woman is raising awareness on social media of the severe food allergy she lives with, saying she had Snickers bars "snapped in half and thrown" at her when she was at school to test her peanut allergy. Chloe Dickson, 26, from Brighton, has anaphylaxis - a condition which causes her to go into anaphylactic shock when exposed to peanuts. Garnering millions of views through her Peanut Free Zone social channels, she says she has received death threats and been called "selfish" due to "misunderstandings" about her allergy. "In secondary school, kids didn't believe I'd react without eating something," Ms Dickson told BBC South East. Posting videos to TikTok and Instagram, Ms Dickson showcases her daily life from taking trains and planes, to working at a cafe and documenting allergic episodes. A life-threatening reaction in a pub, when none of her friends knew how to use her EpiPen, was a "turning point" that compelled her to raise the profile of her condition. Charity Anaphylaxis UK says that about one in 50 children and one in 200 adults in the UK have a nut allergy, ranging from mild to life-threatening. Having worked in the hospitality industry since she was a teenager, Ms Dickson said she had been fired before as an employer wanted to serve dishes with peanuts. She said being told that she was "too high risk" by potential employers had been a "massive anxiety" and made her condition feel "like a secret". In response to critical online comments, she said: "I'm just a human and enjoy working in a café. "I want to be doing fun and exciting things too." Working at Moksha Caffe in Brighton, which became a peanut-free space five years ago to accommodate her, she said management had been "incredible". Ms Dickson said her goal was to encourage Brighton hospitals to go peanut-free. Analysis of NHS data hospitalisations between 1998 and 2018 reveals that 86 (46%) fatalities out of 152 from food-induced anaphylaxis were triggered by peanut or tree nuts, according to research from the Food Standards Agency and Imperial College London. In the UK, restaurants, cafés and takeaways serving "non-prepacked food" must provide accurate information on the major 14 allergens, following the Food Information Regulations 2014. Paul Carey, a spokesperson from allergy campaign group Owen's Law, told BBC South East that best practice allergen information should "always be provided in writing at the point of ordering without the customer having to ask". He wants this to become law after his son, Owen, died during his 18th birthday celebrations after unknowingly eating a burger containing buttermilk. On having dedicated peanut-free spaces for people like Chloe, Mr Carey said: "If people with allergies want to feel safe, then going to a place which is guaranteeing that can only be a good thing."
