3 Lodi students hospitalized from 'One Chip Challenge'

At least three Lodi High School students have been hospitalized after participating in a social media trend called the "One Chip Challenge," according to district spokeswoman Chelsea Vongehr. The challenge encourages people to eat a chip covered in pepper and hot sauce. Lodi High School Principal Adam Auerbach sent a phone message to parents Friday afternoon about the challenge, the Lodi News-Sentinal first reported. Auerbach told the News-Sentinal a number of students were referred to the emergency room because of their reactions to the substance.
