Fainting Game?

My cousin works in a hospital and she treated a boy who had a fit after playing the fainting game, what is this and why would someone want to faint?

It is when people wrap something around their necks that will cut off some blood flow to their brain. The temporary lack of oxygen causes a high or euphoria, and often leads to fainting. However, common sense should say that if oxygen is cut off too long it will lead to more serious effects, even death.

I remember doing that as a kid... I did it and felt like I was asleep for hours and had really weird dreams but in reality I was only out for about 3 seconds. My friend did it next and had a violent siezure... never did it again after that.

Yup, I remember playing that game when I was 13 or 14.
A really stupidly dangerous game that went around the school, unfortunately kids like that sort of thing!

i cant remember exactly although we played it all the time, you have to spin round 3 times and then blow on your thumb really hard ! funny enough this game lost its popularity when we discovered alcohol they are pretty similar!!!!!!!!!

oh thats horrible :(
why would anybody want to make themselves faint???
i mean there are ppl struggling not to faint and going to the e.r all the time
and these ppl think its a game
