Will Eating Warheads Stop a Panic Attack? (NSFW Language)
A woman on TikTok who goes by @Taylor.Talking suffers from panic attacks and posted a video of a new trick that was suggested by her therapist. Her therapist recommended that when she feels a panic attack coming on she should eat a Warhead candy. It was recommended by her therapist, because it “acts as a grounding focus to distract from the spiral of fear.” She says with NSFW language that it works incredibly well and uses the suggestion whenever she feels a panic attack coming on.
Famously known for being extremely sour, the Warhead obviously takes the brain’s focus because it’s such a shock to the body. Chuck has actually mentioned on the show before how he would eat so many Warheads consecutively that it would burn his tongue.
After the video went viral, people in the comments and therapists also suggested ‘Fireballs’, ‘Sour Punch Bites’, ‘ice cubes’, ‘Sour Skittles’, and even lemons. ‘Shocktarts’, or now they are called ‘Shockers’ are something that could definitely be added to that list because the packed quite a punch also.
Warheads Help Panic Attacks?
We’ve attached a TikTok from another therapist (not her therapist), with an explanation as to why the Warhead works to stop a panic attack. Essentially your body can only handle one emergency at a time she says so by introducing such a sour product into the body it takes the focus away from whatever stimulus might be causing the panic attack and forces the brain to turn it’s attention toward the Warhead invasion.
Here she is with her actual therapist, who goes by @Candacerae715 on TikTok. We previously wrote that the therapist above was hers and would like to issue a correction on that. See the video with her therapist below.

Holiday Food Dangers: What Not to Feed Your Pets
Turkey Skin
Certain foods can be challenging for your pet’s digestive system. Turkey skin, chicken skin, and gravy are high in fat, potentially leading to vomiting or diarrhea after ingestion. The Family Veterinary Clinic emphasizes that a diet rich in fatty foods can inflame your pet’s pancreas, an important component of their digestive system.

Bones
During the cooking process, bones lose moisture and become brittle. While it might seem natural to give your dog a bone, it is crucial to avoid all cooked bones. Cooked bones can splinter, posing a risk of serious injury by getting lodged in your pet’s throat or digestive system. If your dog ingests cooked bones, the American Kennel Club recommends consulting your veterinarian for advice or scheduling an appointment to rule out any serious consequences.

Chocolate
Chocolate contains toxic components such as caffeine for dogs and cats. Despite being a well-known fact, it remains one of the most common causes of dog poisoning. Ingesting chocolate may lead to vomiting or diarrhea in dogs, and in severe cases, it can result in arrhythmias or seizures. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, dogs cannot metabolize theobromine and caffeine as efficiently as humans, making them more sensitive to these chemicals.

effects.
Onions
All members of the onion family or closely related varieties (shallots, garlic, scallions, etc.) contain components that can harm red blood cells in cats and dogs. Even a small amount can cause gastrointestinal irritation. Purina warns that these vegetables contain a highly toxic compound called N-propyl disulfide for dogs, leading to the breakdown and eventual destruction of red blood cells, potentially causing anemia. In extreme cases, onion poisoning can be fatal for dogs.

Alcoholic Beverages
While it may seem like common sense not to give your dog alcohol, unattended drinks at gatherings pose a risk. Holiday drinks are often sweet, and curious pets may inadvertently consume alcohol. According to Amical Emergency Care, alcohol toxicity is a common pet poisoning that can result from ingestion, skin absorption, or inhalation of alcohol or alcohol-containing products. Pets with severe poisoning are at risk of death.

Grapes
Raisins and grapes are not commonly known to be poisonous to animals. However, they can cause kidney failure in dogs, as noted by the American Kennel Club. Initial signs of poisoning include vomiting and hyperactivity. Make sure all desserts, fruitcakes, and fruit baskets are kept out of your pet’s reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
