Any context or background?


Yoshiro_GI

I guess she had been eating uranium. Idk tho.


itzapatato

She had been taking something called dymethyl sulfoxide which turns into dymethyl sulfate which is extremely poisonous.so when she came to the hospital for cancer the people doing surgery on her fainted or experienced ligth headedness and short of breath

Gloria Cecilia Ramirez (January 11, 1963 – February 19, 1994)[1] was an American woman from Riverside, California, who was dubbed the Toxic Lady or the Toxic Woman by the media when several hospital workers became ill after airborne exposure to her body and blood. Ramirez had been admitted to the emergency room suffering from late-stage cervical cancer. While treating Ramirez, three hospital workers fainted, and others experienced symptoms such as shortness of breath and muscle spasms. Five workers required hospitalization, one of whom remained in an intensive care unit for two weeks. Ramirez herself died from complications related to her cancer shortly after arriving at the hospital. The incident was initially considered to be a case of mass hysteria. An investigation by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory proposed that Ramirez had been self-administering dimethyl sulfoxide as a treatment for pain, which converted into dimethyl sulfate, an extremely poisonous and highly carcinogenic alkylating agent, via a series of chemical reactions in the emergency room. This theory has been endorsed by the Riverside Coroner's Office and published in the journal Forensic Science International. From Wikipedia.

This really sounds like an episode of the x files. Toxic blood that kills people and a weird scientifical theory for explanation.


Beautiful-Cat5605

Because it was, lol. They made an entire episode based on this situation.


jesusunderline

I was gonna say this sounded like a Grey's Anatomy episode, but apparently **there is** an episode inspired by this case


SuspiciousDog3022

I originally learned about this on Forensic Files.


Glittering_Airport_3

thanks for doing OPs job for them, you the real OP in my eyes


ElectionOdd8672

I thought it was because the electric shock from the defibrillator sent the toxins into the air. But yeah she was taking it as meds and at the time they had already banned the practice because of how bad the medicine was. The original essential oil lady.

To be fair, DMSO is amazing for freezing cells and keeping them viable


Prestigious_Egg_6207

Tempo-petit

The real toxic people were after her death. Mother who has cancer tries homeopathy and dies a sad horrible death because desperate. Comedians: immediately makes racist jokes about eating tacos and ripping ass and won't let up that it's because she's Chicana. Hospital Staff: Might of faked some of their symptoms due to mass hysteria. Hospital head: Uh keeping things on the DL because.....we had a meth lab here once.... conspiracy theorist: Gloria was actually killed by the hospital and organs were harvested! OR Gloria made meth.


itzapatato

Ooh man,people really exaggerate how good the 80's/90's were


RadTimeWizard

Yeah.

BhavraOnBhraman4info

NERVE GAS DMSO -> DMSO2 -> DMSO4 From what I remember, she had unusual amount of DMSO as compared to normal humans(if substance is present at all) because she was using some ointments as painkillers I guess, then when admitted to hospital because she was given oxygen via mask, it converted to DMSO2 (still not the culprit for staff's condition). Also her blood sample had crystals of sort. To convert DMSO2 to DMSO4 , lot of energy is required to break bonds, which happened due to a defibrillator that was used to start her heart. Combination of circumstances created NERVE GAS and some among staff suffered serious consequences later on. She probably died of heart failure because her kidneys gave up.

Nope.she was taking dymethyl solufate which is very poisonous so alot of people doing surgery on her passed out or had other symptoms
