Do you know anyone dumb enough to do this?

Teens in Detroit are playing a very dangerous game of chicken involving chemical burns.  Doctors have seen an increase in injured teens who have been participating in a salt and ice challenge.  The dangerous trend involves teens putting salt on their skin and then seeing how long they can hold an ice cube on the salted skin.  The salt reacts with the ice, making it much colder, and it can lead to frostbite or even third degree burns.  I can’t imagine anyone wanting to scar themselves for life for some idiotic game.

Do you know anyone who has done the salt and ice challenge?
