Fox 7 has learned of a new way kids maybe getting high. At least one website calls it an urban legend, but at least one parent locally, is taking it seriously. This week we received an email from a concerned parent. He overheard his son speaking about a new phenomenon called jenkem. Supposedly, a person deficates in a bottle, lets it ferment for a week, and gets high off of the gases. Most officials we contacted hadn't heard of it, but some students had. Officials who were familiar with jenkem say the trend is so disgusting, it probably won't catch on here in the Tri-State.
