@deadhost.exe: On February 19, 1994, 31-year-old Gloria Ramirez was rushed to Riverside General Hospital in California suffering from late-stage cervical cancer. As medical staff treated her, they noticed a bizarre "garlicky" or fruity odor coming from her breath and an oily sheen covering her body. The horror began when a nurse drew a vial of blood. She noticed strange particles floating in the blood that looked like tiny crystals. Moments later, the medical staff began to drop. One by one, doctors and nurses fainted, suffered tremors, or experienced temporary paralysis. The ER was evacuated, and 23 staff members became ill, with five requiring hospitalization. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory later proposed a terrifying chemical theory: Ramirez had been using DMSO (a solvent) for pain relief. The oxygen administered in the ambulance likely converted it into DMSO2 (which crystallizes in blood), and the electric shocks from the defibrillator converted that into DMSO4—a powerful chemical nerve agent similar to military-grade gas, created entirely inside her own body.

Lloyd Garmadon ツ :

all thanks to DMSO4

Maddie :

Ok the first shot is Literately from Greys Anatomy just pointing that out

Virgil :

I fact checked this. And found out that this story is real! But there are still unresolved circumstances. 23 of about 37 staff members reported symptoms, and five were hospitalized.

The Patient: Gloria Ramirez, a woman with cervical cancer, was brought to an ER in Riverside, California, in 1994. Symptoms & Events: Nurses noted a strong ammonia-like smell from her blood as they drew it, and the blood contained yellow-brown crystals. Staff Illness: Several staff members experienced dizziness, fainting, nausea, and burning sensations, requiring medical attention. The Mystery: While she died of kidney and heart failure, the exact cause of the toxic fumes and crystals remains unknown, though investigators suggested DMSO used in her alternative cancer treatments might have reacted, creating a toxic gas.

Human body is always a big mystery to me

I saw this on greys anatomy 😳

Hank B :

when science meets the supernatural

ymmscs :

how does the crystal blood look like?

Smlavin :

Basically she used a DIY cancer treatment but the chemical binder with her blood. The new chemical is lethal when it hits about room temp so when they extracted the blood the toxic compound started to form causing the collapsing of the doctors and nurses
