Australia’s national support network for epilepsy sufferers is fuming about an “outrageous” social media challenge that’s gone viral.

It’s called the “seizure challenge” and encourages TikTok users to mimic a fit.

Even more disturbingly, the challenge shot to prominence after the death of American rapper Juice Wrld.

He died from a seizure.

Freya Enright, from Epilepsy Action Australia, said it was disgusting.

“This is absolutely disgraceful,” she said.

“We, at Epilepsy Action Australia, are appalled by this and that people think it’s a joke.

“Living with epilepsy is no joke.”

Ms Enright is demanding TikTok remove the videos and apologise.
