Lip balm is usually worn on the lips to keep them from chapping, but today’s youth have taken one popular brand and turned it into a cheap way to get a buzz.
According to KOKH-TV, teens are putting Burt’s Bees lip balm on their eye lids. Doing so produces the effect of “beezin,” a feeling similar to being high or drunk.
Dr. Brett Cauthen said the natural ingredients produce the effect.
“It’s the peppermint oil that’s causing the burning sensation, and I suppose some people think that is kind of funny,” he said.
Beezin has even popped up on YouTube showing teens reacting to placing the lip balm on their eye lids. By the looks of things it can’t be that enjoyable.
Cuthen stressed that even though Burt’s Bees lip balm contains natural ingredients there is some risk to using the product outside of its intended use
