Influencer eats raw chicken EVERYDAY 'until I get a tummy ache'

Doctors have warned against copying the bizarre behavior of a new Instagram star who has pledged to eat raw chicken everyday until he gets sick. 

The influencer — known only as John — has wracked up more than eight million views on his Instagram videos which see him consuming the uncooked meat in various styles.

In one clip, he can be seen washing a raw chicken breast down with a cup of raw eggs. In another, he attempts to fashion a chicken-based pizza, topping the breast with tomato and cheese.

In another video, he washes blends chicken breasts with orange to make an unappetizing-looking smoothie.

It is unclear why the social media star, who has 300,000 Instagram followers, has embarked on the potentially deadly 'experiment', which he refers to as 'eating raw chicken everyday til I get a tummy ache [sic].'

He is now on day 14 of the 'experiment', and has shared shots of himself drinking blood from raw chicken as well as turning chicken breast into smoothies. Doctors have warned people against trying the stunt at home, saying it could lead to a serious infection

But doctors appear horrified at the stunt, warning that eating raw chicken could be fatal due to the risk of contamination with a number of deadly bacteria like listeria, salmonella and E.coli.

About one in five people who catch listeria die from the disease.

Posting a warning on one of his videos, Dr Idrees Mughal — a surgeon based in the UK — said: 'For the love of all things sane, do NOT attempt what this man is doing.

'This is so stupid.'

An amateur chef also posted a warning, saying: 'I'm just gonna say you are playing Russian Roulette with your life.

'Two of the biggest killers,  Campylobacter and salmonella, are a high risk here — especially from undercooked/raw chicken.

'This isn't a science experiment... this is just plain stupidity.'

The influencer says he started eating raw chicken to help ease complaints including back pain, dizziness and cystic acne — a severe type of inflammationary acne that causes pus-filled acne cysts deep under the skin.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the theory that eating raw meat can help to relieve back pain or has any benefits at all.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against eating raw meat, saying it could make someone sick because of the risk of germ contamination.

'Eating raw and undercooked meat and poultry can make you sick,' the body says.

'Poultry includes chicken and turkey. Some germs commonly found in poultry include salmonella and campylobacter.'

This bacteria— as well as listeria — live in the intestines of animals, but can end up on the raw cuts of meat during the slaughter process.

Companies wash meat products using chlorine to avoid contamination — but it does not always destroy the bugs.

In fact the CDC estimate that around one in every 25 bags of chicken at the grocery store are contaminated with Salmonella.

To eliminate the risk, chicken should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165F (74C), which kills the bacteria, the body say.

It is also recommended to use separate cutting boards for meat and poultry in order to avoid contamination.

The influencer — who says he is 6ft 1in and weighs 199lbs — admitted 'one or two doctors' have called him stupid over the habit.

He says he is eating the chicken to help solve back pain he has, as well as to fight an acne that he had previously

'Some people think this page is strictly a science experiment,' he said, 'and some think this is strictly a meme'.

'The answer is, of course, yes [to both].

'I'm basically Bill Nye the raw chicken guy and we are here to entertain as well as to see what happens.'

He added: 'I'll just keep doing my best to eat raw birds and to keep track of any findings.

'So far I haven't noticed anything bad.

'Please don't copy this. It may seem like a meme, but it's also possibly dangerous — which is why it's gaining attention.'

The same individual also went viral last year for posting content showing himself eating other types of raw meat — including beef and kangaroo as well as veal.
