The reporter saw that the store also had some electric gum, sticky fake mice and other prank items. Most of the people browsing in the store were young people, many of whom said these goods could be used for small pranks and were "quite interesting".

Yesterday, Dr. Li from the dermatology department of a hospital in Wuhan said that although this kind of prank toys seem fun, they can cause harm to human body, especially teenagers, including acupuncture weight loss. Dr. Li introduced that although "bloody sugar" contains food coloring, it has not been authenticated by authoritative departments, so it is impossible to determine whether it is really edible. Moreover, if too much food coloring is consumed, it may also affect health. If too much of this "bloody sugar" is consumed, it might lead to poisoning.

Regarding the harm of "itch powder", Dr. Li believed that it could trigger some skin diseases. The reason why this powder can make the human body feel itchy is because its ingredients stimulate the skin, causing an instinctive reaction of continuous scratching. Inappropriate scratching can damage the surface layer of the skin, which may lead to inflammation or eczema. Therefore, both "bloody sugar" and "itch powder" should be avoided and not used.

Doctor: Props may be harmful to the body

The shop owner claimed that the product was harmless, with edible pigments inside the capsules. When bitten, the powdered pigment mixes with saliva and turns red, creating the effect of "spitting blood". The reporter noticed that apart from a line of Chinese explaining, the entire packaging was in English. After breaking open a capsule and pouring out the powder, mixing it with a little water indeed produced a bloody effect. Additionally, a white powder that looks similar to ordinary lime powder was also very popular. The shop owner introduced that just sprinkling this powder on someone would make them itch.

Public Security Department: Not conducive to public security

According to reports (reporter Xu Lijia, Wang Qing), ink thrown on someone will fade after a period of time, biting a capsule will create the appearance of spitting blood, and sprinkling white powder on someone will cause itching... Yesterday, a newly opened magic supplies store on Jianghan Road attracted many buyers. Many young people bought these "magic props" to seek novelty and try pranks. For this, the Wuhan Public Security Department reminded that pranks can easily have negative effects on the psychology of teenagers, and at the same time, professional doctors also reminded that these props can harm the human body.

Upon entering a newly opened magic supplies store on Jianghan Road, the best-selling item "bloody sugar" was placed on top. On the front cover of the product, there was a picture of a red-faced person with a large amount of blood coming out of their mouth. The product description stated "put the capsule in your mouth, bite it at the appropriate time, and let disgusting and terrifying blood flow out of your mouth", while the product was marked in English not to provide it to children under 14 years old.

In addition to harm to the human body, the Wuhan Public Security Department also expressed that such prank products might have negative impacts on the psychology of teenagers, making them think that teasing others is fun. Once they gain benefits from tricking and deceiving others, they might further develop other malicious intentions.

Furthermore, "bloody sugar" can also affect the psychology of some adults. Relevant personnel from the public security department introduced that currently, the common "monkey collision" phenomenon in society uses fake injuries to extort money from drivers. If they buy this "bloody sugar", it would further deceive the victims, making it hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, thus harming public security.
