In this episode of Super SUS, we explore the mysterious and heartbreaking case of Gloria Ramirez, a woman whose tragic story has haunted medical professionals and the public alike. 

On a cold February night in 1994, Gloria was rushed to Riverside General Hospital in California, struggling to breathe. What seemed like a routine emergency quickly spiraled into chaos when several medical staff members collapsed after coming into contact with her. The staff reported exposure to an unknown toxic substance, sparking widespread investigation. This was the night Gloria became known as the "Toxic Lady".

Despite months of thorough inquiries by leading scientists and forensic experts, the cause of the strange events remains unresolved. We dive into the theories, including the most scientifically plausible one involving DMSO, a compound that may have transformed into a toxic gas.

Join us as we peel back the layers of this medical mystery, exploring the dedication of healthcare workers, the grief of a family seeking answers, and the lingering questions that remain about what truly happened that night. This episode serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of the human body and the impact of an unexplained tragedy.
