It’s always hard to hear about people being kidnapped or assaulted, especially women. We are told not to walk alone at night, to avoid unlit streets, and so much more to not get hurt.

But sometimes, that doesn’t even matter. Traffickers are getting smarter, working in pairs, and using chemicals to disorient women.

One TikToker named Erin, who goes by @samanthalewis078, is sharing her experience with a possible trafficking situation, and it’s frightening for sure.

Erin and her husband were celebrating her birthday by going to Prospect Park, which is on the north side of Houston.

She had gone to Taco Tuesday with her husband, and she’s a bit of a germaphobe, but she had a margarita.

When they were headed back to the car to go to the birthday events, there was a bunched-up napkin on the handle of the passenger door.

She barely touched it when she used her long nails to remove the napkin, but she did put her fingers on the handle where the napkin was. This is where stuff starts going downhill.

Her husband was on the phone while she was removing the napkin on her side of the car, and as soon as he hung up the phone, she asked him if he had placed it there.

He told her no, so she began looking for hand sanitizer, and her husband said to her that she should go back into the restaurant and just wash her hands.

Erin did just that, but two minutes after she finished washing her hands, her fingers began tingling.

Erin didn’t tell her husband right away because she thought the tingling would stop. They started driving, and her whole hand started to go tingly, and then her whole arm.

After maybe 5 minutes, her whole arm went numb, and then she got lightheaded, and she was having trouble breathing as well. Her husband tried calming her down, reminding her to breathe, and saying that she should try drinking some water while he called 911.

“Once we got to the emergency room, I explained to them what happened, and immediately they brought me to the back,” Erin said.

“They took my blood pressure and everything. They said my vitals were not stable. They immediately put me in a room and gave me some fluids. They ran a whole bunch of tests. I had a cat scan, just a whole bunch of stuff. I was there for about 6 and a half hours. The doctors said I had acute poisoning from an unknown substance. I didn’t have enough of it in my system to determine what it was. But just that little amount had me messed up.”

Just the smallest amount of an unknown substance made her require medical care. Imagine what would have happened if she had just grabbed the napkin with her hand.

This is something that happens around the world. Bad guys are coming up with all sorts of ways to kidnap or harm people for whatever nefarious purposes they have. She was lucky, but others haven’t been as lucky. Her video is a good reminder of why we need to be more aware of things around us.
