It seems we haven’t written about weird TikTok trends in a long time, and they still keep popping up. The last thing seen is sealing his mouth at night. The hashtag #mouthtaping already has 56 million views and tens of thousands of videos where users talk about the benefits of this method.
The video says covering your mouth can help you sleep, eliminate bad breath, reduce cavities, boost your immune system, and more. All you have to do is put a small strip of tape on your lips before going to bed and remove it in the morning.
Experts say that this technique is not very safe. First, it can cause irritation and an allergic reaction on the lips. Second, there is no scientific evidence that the technique will help reduce bad breath. Third, it can cause breathing problems. When oxygen levels in the body get too low, cardiac arrhythmias and even seizures can occur. And if the nose is already stuffy, plugging the mouth could theoretically increase this risk.
