Houston woman poisoned on her birthday after touching napkin found on car
A Houston woman was celebrating her birthday recently with her husband when she found a napkin stuck in her passenger door handle of their car while they were leaving a restaurant. Erin Mims barely touched the napkin while she threw it away, without giving it much thought. She then went back into the eatery and washed her hands according to Fox 26 News.
“Maybe [in] five minutes, my whole arm started tingling and feeling numb. I couldn’t breathe,” Mims told the news station. “I started getting hot flashes, my chest was hurting, my heart was beating really fast.”
Mims husband drove her to a nearby hospital, where doctors did some bloodwork, urine testing and a CAT scan. In a video posted to Facebook letting people know others of her experience, Mims says she spent about six and a half hours at the hospital after the incident, which started at Prospect Park.
After she got in the car and they departed she felt a tingling sensation in the hand used to open the car door.
There wasn’t enough of the foreign matter in her system to detect what it was, the doctor gave her a diagnosis of “acute poisoning from an unknown substance.”
“Just that little amount had me messed up, y’all, so just imagine if I would’ve grabbed it with my full hand,” Mims said in the video she posted to Facebook. “I probably could’ve been dead.”
She said she was recording the clip to tell others to “be careful,” after the doctor informed her it could’ve been a possible kidnap attempt.
