Gorilla Glue challenge sends Louisiana man Len Martin to the ER

Is this a hoax?

We've had the Cinnamon Powder Challenge, Tide Pod Challenge, and now THIS!

A Louisiana man who thought “Gorilla Glue Girl” Tessica Brown was “lying” ended up in the emergency room himself after he applied the powerful adhesive to his lip.

Len Martin, 37, said he tried out the Gorilla Glue challenge for himself after Brown to prove that it was “not as serious as she was trying to make it,” news station WKBN reported.

“I thought she was just playing around because I didn’t think it was that serious,” Martin told the outlet. “I actually tried it out before and it actually didn’t do anything for me … So I was like, ‘Okay, she’s lying’ and there are all these challenges going on so I was like, ‘Okay I’m going to try it’ and it went backwards.”

The aspiring rapper filmed himself gluing a Red Adhesive cup to his upper lip.

All it needs is a cone-collar to prevent him from scratching his prosthetic nose.

those pesky HIPPA rules ruin everything. A friend, years ago, was working in the ER and a old high school friend came in with something broke off in her whatumacallit.

My sister is a nurse. An ER nurse told her that the cops brought in a drunk who was belligerent and grabbing the nurses. They gave him a catheter that was so big even the deputies recognized it as payback.

I’ve heard it said that there’s no way to underestimate people. They will always find ways to go lower that you thought possible.

And patients who did not deliberately cause their medical catastrophies have to wait for these idiots to be unglued?
