It’s suggested that perhaps he was just a charlatan and conman.
The story of Tarrare was before the advent of photography or modern documentation, but thankfully we know a bit about it from a set of early medical papers from the 18th century.
Despite this, he was also slimly built (although he did suffer from exudative diarrhea his whole life). One report says he once ate a meal for 15 people along with multiple animals. He earned money as a street performer whose act was to eat anything put in front of him – literally anything – from stones and coals to live animals and a ridiculous quantity of food. So the story goes, he worked as a street performer, traveling across France with a merry band of prostitutes, thieves, and outcasts. Tarrare was a 17th-century man with an insanely bizarre “talent” of having an unsatisfiable appetite for food. While it sounds highly unlikely, it's the best explanation we’ve got so far. Electrical shocks from her defibrillation could have then converted the dimethyl sulfone into dimethyl sulfate, a powerful poisonous gas. Oxygen administered by the doctors could have combined with the dimethyl sulfoxide to form dimethyl sulfone.
Independent researchers suggested she had been using dimethyl sulfoxide as a topical homemade pain remedy. People initially suspected it could be a case of mass hysteria however, experts have recently developed a slightly more scientific version of events.Ī team of scientists, writing in the journal Forensic Science International in 1997, explain that it could have been a chain of unlikely chemical reactions. To this day, no one is quite sure what happened in "The Toxic Lady” case. Within a matter of hours, 23 of the 37 emergency room staff who had come into contact with her began to faint and suffer muscle spasms, with many having to be hospitalized.
In February 1994, Gloria Ramirez was rushed to a Californian hospital, suffering from the effects of advanced cervical cancer.
