It Read 100 Ppm

It Read 100 Ppm

The woman replied to her Reddit thread “Thanks to everyone who sent suggestions and advised how to proceed– especially to those who recommended a CO detector… because when I plugged one in in the bedroom, it read at 100ppm.” So, it was pretty clear now that all the mess in her life was related to CO poisoning in her house. 

Good Step

The woman would still have been facing those weird situation had she not shared her problem on Reddit. One of the Redditor who read Jessie’s post was Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner’s Handbook and also the director of the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT. She said, “You might get headaches, you might feel a little groggier than usual. And depending on the chronic exposure, you can even become mentally-off, cognitively-impaired in some ways.”

Jessie looped in the police as well. It was important as anyone coming in contact with it could get their life in danger. The police found her a place to put up for a few days until the problem gets fixed in her house.  Everything was clear now except for one thing. Who sent her Post-it notes? Were that also a part of her hallucination? But she still had pictures of them.

They Were Real

“Yes, the notes were real, I did write them, and I forgot! As for their being notes on all the doors– I went so far as to put notes on my neighbor’s door, but not much further than that. I was on a corner– above the garage– so I only had one neighbor, who had headaches and not much more,” said Jessie.

Misconception

 “Actually, as it turns out, I never plugged it in. I just put it on a shelf, downloaded a webcam app to my phone, (which isn’t even compatible with an external webcam) and made a folder on my desktop called ‘WEBCAM’… then thought it was deleted when the folder was empty.”

So how is she doing now? Well, she is still recovering. Jessie shared her current state with her friends on her post. “It’s been almost a year now. While four months ago, things were rough, I’ve definitely made a significant improvement, and currently, there’s little reason to doubt a full recovery within a year.”
