        " Girlfriend Overdoses On Lotion"
                       - The Onion


        On January 7, 2014 The Onion published an article discussing an odd incident. In the interesting yet weird article, “Girlfriend Overdoses On Lotion”, The Onion talks about someone’s girlfriend who had been a victim of an incident resulting from and “overdose” on scented lotions and perfumes. Her boyfriend had first made a frantic cal to 911 at around 10:00 pm. The ambulance had rushed to the house to discover the twenty six year old girl and the scared boyfriend. She was unconscious in bed surrounded by empty bottles of lotions, moisturizers as well as anti wrinkle treatment. The medics later shared that she had been inhaling cocoa butter and other fumes for over forty-five minutes. They also later found that she had high levels of Jergens and Olay in her system. The victim had a blood-lotion level of about zero point forty -five, which was way above what it should have been. When she arrived at the hospital, it was a race against time. It was only seconds away from being too late to take action. Nurses worked hours to remove the layers upon layers of moisturizers, crèmes, perfumes, Moroccan Oils and lotions that she had piled up on her skin, face, lips and limbs. Friends had told a source that she always had an addiction, but this time it had spiraled out of control. The victim is now in a “stable state, resting in a medically induced comma”
