Peggy Carr didn\u2019t feel well. She was nauseous. She could barely speak. Her feet felt as though they were burning from the inside out. Her family rushed her to the hospital, but the doctors were stumped. They wondered if Peggy had the flu. They also wondered if it was all in her head. It wasn\u2019t.\xa0
\n
\nOver the next few days, her condition improved. Peggy was sent back home, only to become more ill than she\u2019d been before. This time, a neurologist took a look at Peggy\u2019s symptoms and posited that she might have thallium poisoning. The doctor\u2019s hunch was correct. Nearly every member of the Carr household tested positive for thallium.
