   A pair of brothers living in Peru who idolized the stars of a   
   popular reality TV show injected their bodies with oil to mimic   
   the celebrities’ muscular bodies, a near-fatal act that left   
   them paralyzed, Central European News (CEN) reported.   
      
   Oscar Huallpa, 17,and his brother Juan, 10, wanted to have   
   muscular bodies like the stars of “Esto es Guerra” (This is   
   War), Nicola Porcella and Yaco Esquenazi. They’d been working   
   out for two weeks, but were disappointed with the results and   
   found an article online that claimed injecting oil would give   
   them muscles.   
      
   “[Oscar] went to the local shop, and purchased oil and a   
   syringe, and before trying it on himself injected [it] into the   
   dog. Seeing that it gave the dog a bulge like a muscle and   
   didn't seem to cause any harm, he then tried it on himself,” his   
   mother, Sebastiana, told CEN.   
      
   Juan tried it after his older brother, and a few hours later,   
   both boys started getting pain in the limbs where they had   
   injected the oil. Shortly after that, both had lost use of their   
   arms and legs at the injection sites.   
      
   After being taken to the local hospital, the brothers were   
   transferred to a larger hospital in the city of Arequipa in   
   southern Peru for specialist treatment.   
      
   Doctors said the boys are on the mend now, but that they may   
   need to remain hospitalized while the infection continues. The   
   two underwent surgery to remove excess liquid and are lucky they   
   escaped serious injury or even death, they said.   
      
   "I read it on the Internet. It said that Nicola and Yaco oil   
   into their bodies to give them muscles, which is why I decided   
   to give it a try. I only wanted to be like them,” Oscar told a   
   local TV station, apologizing for the trouble he caused his   
   family.   
      
   “Esto es Guerra” is broadcast by American Television and   
   features two groups, Lions and Cobras, that fight in different   
   challenges in a bid to be champions.
