Woman Who Picked Up A Dollar She Found On The Ground Almost Dies Of An Overdose

A Kentucky woman was hospitalized after she picked up a dollar bill she suspected was laced with fentanyl on Sunday.

'My body went completely numb, I could barely talk and I could barely breathe. I was fighting to stay awake,' Renne Parson wrote on Facebook.

Parson says she was driving with her husband, Justin, and children through Nashville, Tennessee, when the family stopped at a local McDonald's to use the restroom.

Renne was holding her three-month-old baby while waiting to use the restroom when she spotted a dollar bill on the ground.

Once the family got into the car, Renne began experiencing symptoms as she placed the dollar in the interior of the car.

'All of a sudden I felt it start in my shoulders and the feeling was quickly going down my body and it would not stop,' she explained.

Justin drove nearly 100 mph in a 35 mph zone, running every red light to get his wife to the nearest hospital.

Justin recalled the incident to WKRN News 2 saying, 'She looked like she was dying. She certainly was unconscious and very pale.'

Justin later revealed that he felt side effects after his wife touched him.

'My lips started going numb and my arm broke out in a rash,' he said.

She was later discharged by medical experts claiming it was an accidental overdose.
