Love doing dares? Love wiping the smile of the darer’s face after successfully doing their dare? There’s (usually) no harm in that. However, there are some dares that you simply shouldn’t do as it puts your life at risk.

Sydney Morning Herald details a dare gone wrong, and it may convince you to think before you take on a dare:
On Saturday, December 1, David went to a Christmas party. The next day he didn’t feel well but thought it was just a hangover.
On Tuesday, December 4, David was diagnosed at the Mater Hospital with a salmonella infection. Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen, which can also be transmitted from person to person. In most cases, it only causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps and fever, but in compromised patients, those with health conditions or the young and old, it can be much more severe.
David’s family thought chicken was the cause of the salmonella. Then on the Sunday, according to Hannah, David’s partner, Allira, was talking to one of his friends and remembered, “Oh, David ate a gecko that night I’m pretty sure”.
The following Tuesday, December 11, a week after being diagnosed, David died during surgery.
His family said he suffered mass organ failure and ” basically rotted from the inside out”.
Be careful with taking dares, people.
