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.
'Thinking nothing of it - I picked it up,' Renne wrote.
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.
Renne grabbed her husband's arm when her body suddenly went numb.
She added, 'I could barely talk and I could barely breathe. I was fighting to stay awake as Justin was screaming at me to stay awake and trying to talk to 911 and find the closest Fire Station or Hospital. I passed out before we arrived at the hospital, but thankfully they worked almost as quickly as my husband did to get me there.'

I thought there were instances of cops getting dosed from touching items that had traces on it.
San Francisco Chronicle says cops are making it up (essentially)

There are “forces” in this world that want us to stop using cash.
This is the kind of scary story they like.
Just weeks after cops warned against picking up money.
Listen or lose it’s your option feel lucky.
Any FReepers who have money they feel may be infected with drugs can solve their problem easily by sending the money to me.
Had she recently received a booster💉?
I think I remember you.
There's something more to the story that we don't know. Normally you can't get it from brushing it off your skin like that.
If you remember me then I didn’t use enough chloroform.
(Snicker, snicker) Just kidding.
Alcohol works just fine.😜
I recently saw 2 cops arrest a guy who was on a bicycle after a chase. I got there at a stoplight just as he was being arrested.
One cop went to the trunk of their car and produce a bottle of liquid which he liberally washed his hands with.
Way back in the 1980’s a cousin of mine who was a cop in Minneapolis area was searching a person she had chased across a church roof and caught and while searching his pockets was jabbed with a needle....
I bet police today gotta be extra careful plus with fentanyl they could be accused and convicted of killing a drug dealer even after that drug dealer swallowed the fentanyl. See George Floyd.
There are cops who had panic attacks or where afraid after touching it, but you can’t be poisoned that way.
Not likely, since fentanyl is not readily absorbed through skin contact. I mean she may have had this reaction, but it probably was not caused by picking up a $1 bill.
Did she have a Big Mac?
