Having done more than 300 of these posts, I have progressed and gotten better,” he told the publication. “At first, you could see me breathing, or the fake blood looked really bad.I have gotten rid of using the blood and gotten better at holding my breath.”Nalley shared that the inspiration for the idea came from seeing a woman post about spicy sauce on TikTok and receive a tonne of offers from merchants.
