Renee Parsons, a Kentucky woman was hospitalized after a near death incident from picking up a dollar bill from the ground.
Renee Parsons who happens to be the victim of the incident went Facebook on Monday, July 11, to share her issue,
The incident took place on Sunday, July 10, Renee was on a trip to a conference in Dallas, Texas, with her husband and two children.
During the trip, the family stopped at a McDonald’s in Bellevue, Tennessee, where Renee spotted some stray cash on the ground and decided to pick it up.
Minutes after picking up the dollar her body went numb and she could barely move or breathe,
“It’s almost like a burning sensation, if you will, that starts here at your shoulders, and then it just goes down because it’s almost like it’s numbing your entire body,” Renee explained.
Her husband, Justin continued “She hadn’t said anything for a while, then she said, ‘Justin, I am sorry. I love you.’ Then she just quit talking.”
“She looked like she was dying. She certainly was unconscious and very pale.”
Minutes later she supposedly passed out, Justin also included that she had reportedly grabbed his husband’s arm with the same hand she used on the dollar, and he too started experiencing similar symptoms as his wife. His lips went numb and his arm sprouted a rash.
Frightened, Justin drove his unconscious wife to St. Thomas Ascension Hospital, Fortunately, hours later Renee was fortunate to have her symptoms stopped, and the facility discharged her on an accidental drug overdose.
Justin, who reportedly worked in law enforcement for many years, believed that the dollar may have been laced with fentanyl, Yet, experts stand strong over the Parsons family’s overdose theory.
According to a Metro Nashville police officer who was called to the ER, Parsons decidedly wasn’t exposed to fentanyl as she didn’t require Narcan to be revived while preliminary tests didn’t reveal any drugs in her system.
Dr. Rebecca Donald, a fentanyl expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, joined the investigation, her results claimed Renee’s symptoms didn’t indicate fentanyl poisoning.
Supposedly the dollar was laced with fentanyl, it would require more than skin-to-skin contact to cause an overdose.
“It is much more likely for her to have a reaction if she had inadvertently rubbed her nose and exposed that drug to some of the blood vessels in her nose or licked her fingers or rubbed her eyes,” said Dr. Donald.
Renee put up a struggle on her claims but the medical center reports came out different, however she went on Facebook to place cautions
“The [moral], I don’t care if it’s a $20 bill or a $100 bill do not touch it!!!” she warned on Facebook.
