This is a tie-in episode to the Mad Gasser of Mattoon. On February 19, 1994, a very ill woman was rushed to the ER at Riverside Hospital in California. What happened next is a mystery. A chain reaction of illnesses ran rampant through the ER, affecting hospital staff and launching a mishandled and VERY dramatic investigation. The final conclusion(s) were: mass hysteria, or a chain of chemical reactions from DMSO cream. But are either of these official answers what actually happened that evening? Spoiler alert- absolutely fucking not. Come with me as we dissect this one-of-a-kind event and figure out what exactly happened to  Gloria Ramirez.
