Cinnamon spice tea, cinnamon in cakes and curries are so irresistible. But in a recent study it was found that youth and children take a cinnamon challenge for fun which leads to dangerous consequences. The challenge is to swallow a spoon of cinnamon powder. Looks simple! But the spice powder which does not break down fast gets stuck in the throat causing a series of coughing,gagging and even vomiting.
