Teens do the darnedest things.

The same demographic who tried to eat tide pods and snort condoms is back at it again with something called "The Deodorant Challenge."

The "challenge" involves spraying aerosol deodorant on bare skin for prolonged amounts of time. As of now, at least one person has been injured because of it.

Jamie Prescott, a woman from Bristol, UK, claims that her daughter has sustained second-degree burns from participating in the challenge. On Friday, she shared the story and photographs of her daughter's injury in a now-viral Facebook post.

"These are the damaging results of something known as 'The Deodorant Challenge,' which is currently doing the rounds in Yate and literally involves spraying deodorant on to someone else for as long as possible," Prescott wrote. "It's that simple and results in severe secondary burns."

Prescott explained that her daughter is facing complications as a result of the burns."The pictures below are that of my Year 10 daughter's arm THREE WEEKS ON which may still as yet require a skin graft," she said.

Her original post has garnered international attention, but it's worth noting that this "trend" isn't exactly new.

According to the Huffington Post, an earlier variation of the stunt dubbed the "Aerosol Challenge" first made the rounds online in 2014 and has been resurfaced several times over the years.

In 2017, dermatologist Dr. Doris Day told TODAY that the fad was particularly alarming. "This is a very scary trend because basically, these kids are committing chemical burns. The force of the aerosol itself and the temperature change on the skin can potentially cause second- and third-degree burns."

It's unclear how many people have participated in the challenge over the years.

Many people on social media have expressed concern and alarm over the challenge's revival.

Prescott wrote on Facebook that she is sharing her daughter's story because she wants to prevent other kids from experiencing the same pain. "For any parents who have children, please, please sit them down and show them these pictures," she wrote.
