She explained that the students' ages ranged between 14 and 15 years, noting that they participated in the challenge during the lunch hour.
A few minutes later, the teens felt tachycardia (increased heart rate), which prompted their transfer to the hospital, for necessary medical care.

He continued, "All students will remain under medical observation."
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, and San Bartolome school has issued a statement calling on parents to "monitor their children's use of social media".
