even after her nose was burning off, she decided to begin drinking the stuff. why? i don't know. because dumb. she took it a couple of times, had a reaction in her guts and went to the emergency room. they thought she had meningitis and did a spinal tap (obviously didn't tell them she DRANK POISON). when she got home she posted that she was going to try to drink it again.
it was originally a root used by native people to draw out infections. it is sometimes called 'natures scalpel'. supposedly you can put it on, say, a splinter that has gone too deep and healed over and the paste would pull the splinter to the surface and kill the surrounding infection. the 'eschar' is a scab that forms from all the dead tissue, it is a normal effect of the paste. usually when it falls off it leaves a depression in the skin that fills in over time. she must've got a bad bunch.
it is illegal to sell in the US for medicinal purposes, however, i believe it is legal for use on animals. i guess people use it on farm animals who get tumors.
she bought it over the internet, from a company called ALPHA OMEGA. the redditors mentioned that the creator of the company had previously done jail time for something. she called the company a few times over the course of treatment and the told her everything was fine as well.
