A woman who developed a gruesome rash on parts of her face and hands took months to realize she was “poisoning” herself by wearing cheap jewelry.
“I’m pretty sure I’ve been accidentally poisoning myself for the last like six months by wearing extremely cheap earrings,” she said in a now-viral TikTok video that garnered 1.5 million views.
Erin Dunn, a 24-year-old healthcare worker, first noticed her eye turning red last November. Assuming it was just pink eye or a seasonal allergy, she made a quick trip to urgent care on November 8, 2023, to confirm it wasn’t anything serious or contagious.
