Erin Mims, who owns a salon according to her Facebook profile, shared a video to the social media platform on Aug. 7, 2022, providing a first-person account of her self-described experience.

Mims claimed that her birthday turned into one of “the scariest moments of my life” when, after dining at a Prospect Park restaurant on the north side of the city, she found a napkin wadded up and stuffed into the door handle of her car. (The video above shows a recreation of the event.) Mims said that she picked the napkin up with her fingernails and tossed it out. While she didn’t touch the napkin directly with her fingertips, she said that she did touch the door handle.

After about two minutes, Mims said her fingertips started tingling. After five minutes, she said that her entire arm started to feel numb, and she also felt lightheaded and couldn’t breathe.

“It was a whole bunch of different feelings at one time,” she said in the video. Her husband reportedly took her to the emergency room, where she was told that her vitals “were not stable” and she was given fluids and a “whole bunch of tests,” including a CAT scan.

“The doctors said I had acute poisoning from an unknown substance. I didn’t have enough of it in my system to determine what it was, but just that little amount had me messed up,” she said in the video. “So, just imagine if I would have grabbed it with my full hand.”The video has been shared widely on social media and has been covered by a number of national and international news publications, such as The Independent and Business Insider, as well as several Houston-area outlets. One such news story alleged that Mims filed a report alleging assault with the Houston Police Department (HPD), prompting our newsroom to contact the agency. A public information officer confirmed that Mims had filed a police report — not assault charges — and the case was part of an ongoing investigation.

HPD told Snopes that aside from the police report, there is no evidence to corroborate Mims’ story — and that won’t happen until the department receives a copy of her medical records to determine what, if any, chemicals were in her system. HPD also said that this is the first such incident reported in its jurisdiction.

“At this point, we don’t know,” a spokesperson for the agency told Snopes on the phone.

In addition to the HPD, we also contacted the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to determine if there was a cause for broader public concern. A spokesperson for the agency referred our team to guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
