Is this sounding familiar to anybody? This product would probably explain why her skin was so greasy, and a common side effect of using this is kidney failure.

This explanation seems to violate even my meager understanding of chemistry. Your IP: 136.243.187.29 They make an excellent case. Gloria’s condition quickly grew worse; within an hour she’d passed of kidney failure. Even after you stop chemo, it stays in your system for some time. The photos are the hardest part of this, for me. She’d been suffering from terrible chest pain as well as trouble breathing. The officials said they have concluded that the patient, 31-year-old Gloria Ramirez, died of heart and kidney failure caused by her cervical cancer that night in February and the case has been closed. It’s known to turn to crystals at room temp, that could be the cause of the particles floating in her blood.

Evernut (talk) 17:21, 17 November 2012 (UTC), I think we should move this page to Death of Gloria Ramirez or something similar.

Based on this example of your understanding, you would also be strongly advised to refrain from editing anything in this area – or at least remaining anonymous. Thank you for saying something!

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware. If you further add another oxygen atom, you get (liquid) dimethyl sulfate, a deadly poisonous substance with measured LD50 values and myriad warning labels.

Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property. The author also wants us to believe that evaporation at room temperature of a chemical whose boiling point is 370 C would produce enough gas to affect several people in a large room. It also incorrectly stated that the symptoms of the hospital staff are not common with exposure to dimethyl sulphates. So, Mystery Solved? This DMSO section seems highly implausible. Orbach told him, "I thought it smelled like bitter almonds," and the doctor replied, "Either one." This article seems to be about her ER visit and death, not her life and who she was as a biography. She’d been suffering from terrible chest pain as well as trouble breathing. Performance & security by Cloudflare, Please complete the security check to access. This is sourced to a New England Journal of Medicine article that has nothing to do with Gloria Ramirez. California housewife Gloria Ramirez had been sick, she was dying of cervical cancer.

Just after 8 pm on February 19th of 1994, EMS was summoned to take Gloria to the ER at Riverside General Hospital. As you know, the only electronic I open is a crappy Android. I need a cheap laptop, microphones, etc, For only $3 you can help this site stay up and running! It’s hypothesized this chemical in Gloria’s blood mixed with the oxygen she was on and that when Nurse Susan drew Gloria’s blood, this released those toxic fumes into the air. What’s true is that if you add an oxygen atom to (liquid) DMSO via a suitable oxidation reaction, you get (solid) dimethyl sulfone, popular as a cutting agent for street drugs among other uses. • It is more "Believe it or not: Cow with two heads foretells future", "Abominable snowman sightings in Appalachia", etc. "DMSO is relatively harmless, but with one oxygen atom added, it becomes dimethyl sulfone, But now add two oxygen atoms to dimethyl sulfone it becomes dimethyl sulfate." Unfortunately, after 40 minutes of CPR and defibrillation, Gloria Ramirez was pronounced dead at 8:50 PM. Combined with a complete lack of citations, I am radically altering this section. When the nurse by the name of Susan Kane came in to take her blood, she noted that it smelled like ammonia; there were also tiny particles seen floating in Gloria’s blood specimen. Dr. Grant's peer reviewed paper clearly states that they are. Conventional chemotherapy was not part of her medical history. What would cause the DMSO in her blood to react with the oxygen in her lungs to form dimethyl sulfate? Maybe. It's original research.24.127.111.210 (talk) 20:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC), I have removed "Conspiracy" from the section entitled "Conspiracy theories". I believe such an inclusion requires some elaboration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.97.72 (talk) 17:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC), I agreed until I read the discovery article. I also removed a following paragraph, it proposes an explanation involving chloramine gas. Chemotherapy does monstrous things to a person's biological chemistry.

This could have been some reaction/combination of the chemo with the DMSO. Gloria Ramirez (January 11, 1963 – February 19, 1994) 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 exposure to her body and blood. Has anyone put forth that idea, or am I completely off base? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.115.27.11 (talk) 00:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC), Hello? It turned out that the woman had been poisoned and the nurse(s) who had passed out had fainted due to panic. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hanifahrahman/strange-unsolved-myseries Season 3 I think. You may need to download version 2.0 now from the Chrome Web Store. For starters it was not sourced. Sarmandi (talk) 07:44, 6 August 2016 (UTC), To conclude “therefore, it [b]must[/b] have been mass hysteria“ is ... bold. The reaction of DMSO to DMSO4 by oxygen or air has also not been observed. This woman had cancer. This is mass hysteria. So basically 10 minutes before she arrived at the hospital she was being ressucitated and then once she arrived they sedated her and began defibrillating. Gloria was given multiple meds such as Xanax immediately in order to sedate the poor lady. Water is two atoms away from an explosive mix of pure oxygen and hydrogen gas, but you don't see lakes spontaneously exploding. As far as the discussions above, I know something about chemicals, but I'm not an expert. Is there anyone that knows more about this case and can provide a source and better explanation of this DMSO theory? Patient most likely suffered from cervical cancer with metastasis to brain. Apparently this is a thing- Athletes have been known to use it for achy muscles. This is sourced to a New England Journal of Medicine article that has nothing to do with Gloria Ramirez. It is likely that then little is left over from the theory. What this doesn’t explain is how she would be toxic to those around her.

Staff has taken note that Gloria’s skin was so greasy, and her breath had smelled like a pungent mixture garlic and fruit. Emergency room doctors can run test after test, they can theorize and medicate patients all day long, but there are some cases that never get cracked. Martin Blank (talk) 01:34, 30 June 2011 (UTC), The oxidation of the highly stable DMSO2 to DMSO4 is impossible. As for dimethyl sulfate, an oily liquid at room temperature, its vapor pressure is greater than that of (for example) naphthalene (mothballs). Response to Unsigned: Before you pass judgment on anything chemical, you would do well to gain at least some rudimentary comprehension of chemistry, chemical properties, and chemical reactions. The article is cobbled together from really dated webpages and generally very very poor citations for some critical claims, such as footnote 10 which is the entire "conclusion" paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.251.139 (talk) 07:20, 15 February 2009 (UTC), I reverted an assertion that the DMSO4 would have completely reverted to DMSO by the time the hazmat team showed up because it has a 12-hour half-life. Soulnus (talk) 02:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC), EDIT: I also see this page is listed in the "Conspiracy theories in the United States" category. However, not every medical mystery is so easily solved. California housewife Gloria Ramirez had been sick, she was dying of cervical cancer. When the young doctor smelled ammonia she w as tricked into thinking that breathing ammonia wil also cause a disease state. --Carbonrodney (talk) 10:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC), This is a sad and bizarre story, but I think there was an episode of Law & Order inspired by this.
