I’m coming back to this video after 5 years to say that I work with DMSO on a daily basis (it’s a very very common organic solvent that gets used in synthetic chemistry labs) and it has a distinct smell that I could not put my finger on until recently, when I realized it smelled both garlicky and somewhat sweet, kinda like fruit. I think the fruity-garlic smell must have been the DMSO.

Hospital worker here. I believe the reason they moved everyone out out of the hospital instead of the woman was because the area where she was being held would be considered contaminated. Since most likely she wasn’t placed in isolation immediately the area would also be considered contaminated (especially since it was an unknown, contagious contaminant) the outside would be a better environment than a contaminated unit.

Most likely not, but I recall there was a person with DID ( dissociative identity disorder) where one of the personalities had diabetes, and the other didn't, yet when they drew blood from each personality, they tested both positive and negative for diabetes, depending on which blood sample they tested. Not really the same thing, but considering what people can do when their minds are "unlocked" it's not impossible.

Hi, hello, I'm 99.9% sure I know what happened and I just realized I've never commented on that here. So DMSO is super easily absorbed by the skin, and because it will solubilize pretty much any compound, anything mixed in with the DMSO when it comes in contact with skin will be absorbed too. So that ED almost certainly had some major contamination issues going on (because hospitals are run by money-hungry sociopaths and not by people interested in patients' wellbeing) and though it wasn't causing any health issues before Gloria came in, once she was being treated, all that excess DMSO on her got all over the people who were treating her, and it carried whatever contaminants were hanging around into their skin with it. That's why the paramedics didn't get sick, since the ambulance would have been relatively clean. Gloria may have simply died from cancer-related complications, but all of that DMSO made the hospital's sterility issues very hazardous, very quickly. Even if the hospital didn't know what happened, they almost certainly would have interfered with the investigation because they knew it could have exposed the issues. Anyway, it wasn't aliens or mass hysteria, it was science and capitalism.

hm. i work in a university chem lab and we use DMSO as a solvent. we always have to be super, super careful with DMSO because if you get it on your skin, it will act as a solvent and allow pretty much anything to enter your skin and bloodstream _extremely_ fast. i'm not sure if ramierez had access to lab-grade DMSO, but if she'd applied enough and then come into contact with any sort of toxin (think even like, cleaners or environmental toxins). I sent this case and the actual 1997 paper by grant et al to my PI, and he simply suspected that a combination of lidocaine and acetaminophen caused her heart to stop, although this wouldn't explain the apparent other effects suffered by the nursing staff. just my two cents!

@chartreusecircle1546 4 роки тому
I’ve worked with DMSO frequently, both in liquid and gel form. It has an awful, powerful smell. Upon contact with the skin, it causes an intense burning sensation. Even the vapor from it will make your eyes burn and your face feel hot. It’s nasty stuff, often used as an anti-inflammatory given to animals. It’s applied to the skin topically, given via nasogastric tube, or intravenous injection. Some people use DMSO to topically treat pain for arthritis, etc. There is some pseudoscience out there claiming that DMSO kills cancer cells, though this hasn’t been shown to be the case. But remember: Gloria had cancer. And some cancer patients get desperate and try unproven or even harmful home remedies. It’s not unreasonable to think that someone convinced Gloria to not only coat her skin in DMSO, but orally consume an insane amount of it, or even inject it directly into her bloodstream... not only poisoning herself, but possibly creating a toxic chemical reaction with a food substance or other drugs she was taking.

I watched a video on this recently! Another way the nerve gas could've been created, was pressure. Under pressure, it can break down and turn to gas. And taking blood samples? Those lil bottles are pressurized. And conveniently, that's when everyone started experiencing symptoms. Right when samples were taken. And it's believed when the sample was taken, that little bit of pressure was all that was needed to create enough gas to cause symptoms. So, there was actually multiple ways it could've broke down into the nerve gas. So they believe they've figured it out? But the family does very much believe she never used the cream, let alone heard of it. So take that as you will.

@LauraSti 4 роки тому
There's a theory out there that someone in the hospital was smuggling meth precursor chemicals through the hospital in IV bags, and that Ramirez got one of the meth precursor bags instead of the intended one. It would explain the ammonia smell (apparently meth precursors are known to smell like ammonia, which is weird,) the "misplacement" of the syringe, etc. If someone at the hospital had been using the hospital IV bags to smuggle precursor chemicals, the hospital could have been severely penalized or even permanently shut down over it, even without someone dying from that. Every medical professional at that hospital would be at risk of losing their licenses, down to the last nurse in the pediatrics ward, effectively ending the careers of every last one of them. There would be a MASSIVE pressure to get rid of the evidence, to misplace a syringe, etc. This would also explain why there was such pressure on the chief investigator, and why she committed suicide. If she discovered that the scheme was backed by someone powerful, and they were pressuring her to state that nothing was wrong, that would result in pressure from two sides. First, there would be the general pressure to cover up what happened, but there would also be an internal pain and frustration that the system she trusted was hiding so much. I don't know if this theory is accurate, but with the astounding levels of corruption and drug mismanagement that led to the current opioid crisis, is it really a stretch to believe that this might be the real reason for Ramirez's death?

Laura Stimpson The hilariously described fruity garlic smell emanating from her instantly made me think she had diabetic ketoacidosis and that it was her breath. High levels of ketones can cause very bad breath that’s been described as fruity in some cases. If detected and treated too late, it can be fatal as well. As for the other staff members experiencing a wide array of symptoms, it’s not completely improbable that one of the nurses was actually sick with an unrelated illness and that that, combined with the unknown factor of Gloria’s death, caused the mass hysteria.
@LauraSti 4 роки тому
@@JLin943 I agree that DKA is the likely cause of the smell, but the particles in her blood wouldn't be caused by DKA, barring some REALLY weird complications (like her blood being oil-based instead of water-based type weird.) That suggests to me that there's something else going on in addition to the likely DKA. (Assuming Gloria had DM in the first place, which is likely but not certain.)

When cancer patients are given chemo they often lose their appetite and won't eat. This sends their body into ketosis. The mix of chemo and ketosis is toxic, and the body releases a very strong chemical smell, that is sort of a sweet, acetone type smell. It is extremely intense and seeps through the pores and is on the breath. I can see as it might be described as fruity garlic. I don't know if this is what they smelled, but it is fairly common and any medical professional should recognize this. It can definitely turn one's stomach, so I can understand becoming ill from the odor. Perhaps that's what happened and then mass hysteria ensued?
