0:00 [Music] a lavender spray lavender was supposed to freshen homes instead it killed two people what the ████ wait what the ████ is happening was there a lighter held in front of it a month's long cdc investigation revealed an aromatherapy spray imported from india and sold at walmart was contaminated with deadly bacteria but it was just that they're like they accidentally put cyanide in there it's okay you're from hunter i'm actually not indian you're from huntington beach so on july 12th a five-year-old boy in georgia arrived at an emergency department following several days of sickness vomiting weak sore throat heart
0:50 rate unusually fast fever spiked to more than 102 degrees typically doctors admitted the child to the hospital to keep an eye on him and help keep him properly hydrated that night his breathing became labored and he tested positive for covid doctors immediately started a typical treatment for the infection including steroids and anti-volatile so covid came through a lavender spray no because i heard bacteria that was like you also got covered yeah you got a combo oh did he get it at the hospital no so no covey next to blade plug-ins he did not get better within four days of hospitalization he died ████ that sucks an autopsy later detected the coronavirus in his lungs and upper airways but also showed something surprising bacteria called berculderia pseudomalay in the boy's lungs liver spleen and brain
1:41 that finding would eventually lead investigators to solve three other cases of the same infection that occurred earlier in the year in three different states details of all four cases were published recently so basically this guy uh gets this really really unusual situation and then they launch an investigation and then the people from cdc go into the investigation and then they have to go through this really rigorous test of everything in the house because they didn't know where this particular bacteria that is not native to america and it's not usually found in america so they had to check everything so they tested everything after months they finally found this aromatherapy spray and the ████ crazy thing is that same aromatherapy spray was the same thing that was in three other separate homes that led to deaths as well so how many other aromas therapy sprays were was it organ contaminated
2:34 it was organic the investigators discovered the bacteria in an aromatherapy room spray in the house the product the lavender and chamomile scent of better homes and gardens essential oil infused that's a big brand with gemstones had been imported from india and sold at 55 walmart stores and it's at walmart as well as on the walmart's website i'm going to repeat that just in case anybody has purchased that better homes and gardens essential oil infused aromatherapy room spray with gemstones from walmart if you have purchased this there has been contamination of a bacteria from india that leads to this type of potential that's ████ and then they said when we got the first confirmation it came as a huge relief because then they were able to understand how come other people didn't get sick and die from it well that's the thing people that bought this particular
3:24 spray were feeling these symptoms and apparently so far that's that's the thing too is that they're ████ lucky that they decided to look into it to that level because who knows how many people did die from it and it's just being attributed to something else because if it's if it was distributed that widely so many people had to bought this yeah for sure so what happened did a prankster take a dookie inside of the essential oil yes no i haven't i have no idea pranks are from maybe essential soy indian prankster come on man they got youtube out there they got youtube prank video he got in the tank had sex with a bat oh true hey that does happen so true and that's why they have bacteria and covid all four patients whose cases are detailed in a new report initially had a wide range of vague symptoms such as
4:14 fatigue shortness of breath fever nausea etc and then one case involved a four-year-old girl in texas whose family sought medical attention for her several times after she'd been vomiting and had a fever of more than 103 degrees you're trying to make the house smell nice but lavender is bad though fresh laundry that's the one you want to get no lavender yeah don't get lavender on this ████ i get fresh laundry every time it smells ████ good or oh dude you want it you want something that's not glade because that glaze is a little more expensive you get the airwick you get the apple cinnamon you're good to go apple cider i like the fruity stuff don't even worry about it i don't like the flower stuff sounds like fall every time budget conscious aroma therapy tips that's not white people ████ apples are growing all over the united states cinnamon all over them and cinnamon fuji they got some fuji apples it's borderline pumpkin spice is
5:05 what i'm saying it's almost the what kind of what kind of spray do you use oh ████ man i don't i don't use anything i spray everything with excess therapy sprays it the oils that you ████ put in your humidifiers and ████ and you let that sucker go out in your room or it's like those little jars with the uh with the sticks out of it and the liquid inside oh i love it those are they'll smell good comes in a variety of you know you're right i should show this image again in the ████ up lavender thing this is the particular product that was on walmart what do you do with that i'm glad i just make the house smell nice this one is an actual spray like a cologne type thing has like a little squirter at the top and stuff like that who would think that ████ could kill you like that for example one of the uh one of the victims like their their parents
5:55 were just spraying it like on like bed pillow shoes and stuff just to make sure it smelled and was because the thing is sometimes people have that understanding of belief in things like essential oils right so they want to put that in close proximity and the problem is this particular bacteria or what causes these these things are also like you know what's the word have you heard about what kills cats and ████ essential oils be careful out there yeah really all essential oils well no but they're the but that had that's often coral the oils don't sound very essential there are a subset of people that use essential oils and they use it for healing anything everything yeah but you've got to be careful around pets yeah do you think that when this happens that the um underground market for selling whatever's left goes up for like assassins um that is a dark ass thought and i like it
6:46 assassins are like okay just give me the usual lavender and then they're like excuse me how much is it right now are you excuse me what happened oh the news got out wow okay good price pumped i guess i'll take uh some rope then thanks the overhead of my career [Laughter] i'll get the chloroform uh that's crazy so uh scary too because the scariest thing about this story is i feel like we were millimeters away from dodging how the news could have sensationalized that into being another coveted related like oh now kovid kills you this way through essential oils thank god there was a good scientist in that lab that went no it was actually this and it's from india so look at all the indians in your life walmart so maybe walmart or the walmart family is suppressing that you know
7:36 you only want essential indians which ones are the essential indians oh my i'm negligible bollywood you let me go and then tech giants hey let me tell you something the last frame of shank change wouldn't happen if not for you i think you're pretty essential thank you very much yeah yeah thank you thank you bye city blues [Laughter] my boy blue are they saying like is this some kind of like new bacteria that doesn't exist in the u.s it's just not common or familiar here which is why they had confident room spray they had to bring in the actual like cdc investigation team uh and at the end of the day we're in a generation i wonder if that's rampant in india though like are people like constantly being affected by that here's the thing with india ████ they got so many crazy ass bacterias they're just like immune to everything like like if we go there like and you
8:26 drink a water water out of a faucet like you you just you die that's what tessa was telling us but like vacate to the diseases yeah well my my grandma lived to 96 and she was drinking out of a well oh my she's like you can't ████ with me because when maggots come in here i kill them that's free when ████ when tapeworm comes in they go oh who can live here and then they leave they dip out her immune system is just like ████ you get the ████ you know that's what i heard like uh we have a lot of autoimmune diseases right in the u.s and like um we have a lot of like weird uh diseases where the immune system attacks itself like ourselves and they're saying it's because like we're used to dealing with more bacteria viruses all that stuff and when it has nothing to work on then it ████ you up
9:17 man so maybe we should all go to india and drink from the well just a little bit just a little while or maybe there's a way to do it gradually like is there a way where we can slow down are there wells that are arranged in a row or there's a company that just gives you doses over here micro micro dosing indian water macro dose bacteria bro come on yeah cause indian babies don't come out and be like i'm ready for the world right maybe they got to get like indian titty milk or like something it's like probiotics bro getting them ready to live in the indian world i guess it's like it's like shots right it's like taking a flu shot is not necessarily taking like something to protect you against it but rather it's giving you a small dose of it yeah like that's what vaccine is so we just need like small doses like brad pitt and ████ world war z of everything and then we'll be ████ sorry are you a legend at eating spicy foods not a legend at all oh no
10:08 but okay here's the other thing about that though is in india they're not using home gardens lavender scent ████ it's just getting made there it's just getting made there and sent overseas immediately keep them back for a reason what do you do to keep an indian house scented oh and you just cook indian food and it and it smells that sounds like the setup of a perfectly good joke by the way sorry sorry i didn't know 90s racist joke i don't know what the punchline would be it is a 90s racist joke what's the setup again what do you do to keep an indian house scented [Music] [Laughter] i mean according to joe it gets steamy that's the hacky that's the hacky open
10:59 mic line and everyone's like oh no oh yeah hey who said that oh my mom did okay yeah i mean anthony jumped on that curry joke real quick oh did you say that it's pungent am i being racist well yeah sorry no it's fine he goes well yeah you know i heard like in tropical areas like there's more variants and disease and bacteria and things like that because they can live under those conditions and and like yeah i guess it's it's just a thriving because they can they can culture and just turn into other ████ yeah they don't they like live doormat in like cold places or like there's just yeah is that hot and humid mm-hmm hot and spread nice and moldy you know but i love tropical that's my favorite kind of
