PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — A new viral trend is sparking debate worldwide — adults are turning to pacifiers as a way to cope with stress.
Instead of meditation or traditional relaxation methods, some adults are using adult-sized pacifiers at home, at work, and even in traffic.
But doctors warn the trend could cause more harm than good.
They say pacifier use can interfere with breathing, affect dental alignment, strain the jaw and even disrupt sleep.
Despite the concerns, the fad continues to spread on social media.
