Very sad! I wish someone had pointed her to here. She may have found a good source with COAs, learned how to reconstitute and monitor her dosage.

BP loves this shit.

Meanwhile, obesity is a bigger "killer" and folks are getting healthy from this stuff. But you won't see any of the success stories on the evening news🙁

Eli Lilly board of attorneys are working overtime to get this article pushed out worldwide!$

These two paragraphs from the story are very important:

The family has since been told Karen was not injected with tirzepatide, the drug known by the brand name Mounjaro; instead, she was administered semaglutide - a different weight loss drug, requiring a different dosage.

Karen’s family are awaiting further test results, but they believe the unlicensed weight-loss jabs were to blame for her death.

Ridiculous. I agree people like this salon owner need to be shut down. Self educate, self test, self inject. Trust no one.

GLP-1 have caused many death over last few years. Its well documented . But they are generally safe
Major issue Unlicensed beauticians and non-medical providers offering injections at beauty salons, spas, and homes without appropriate medical oversight

I don't believe she died from Sema. Maybe something else was in that vial or else things were not properly cleaned and she got a bacterial infection.

 

[Nathanologist]

The strangest part of the whole article is that they were told she would die in a few days… but no cause of death was detailed. The drs must have know what was failing if they knew thy could not help her… right?!

Edit: researching symptoms seems to indicate septic shock from infection or acute pancreatitis.

At the very least it’s seems like they might want to wait for the test results before publishing. Who knows what killed her? Very sad regardless.

The news story says she was injected Semaglutide not Mounjaro. It sounds like it was a high dose. But high dose wegovy is not lethal. Have to wait for further information as high dose Sema is safe even it it wasn't mounjaro.

The few symptoms described in the article sound like sepsis to me. The salon probably injected her with some seriously non-sterile solution and she ended up dying from infection. All speculation on my part without knowing the actual cause of death, but this doesn't sound like it can be directly attributed to GLPs. Probably more a case of non-medical people practicing unlicensed medicine and killing someone. A tale as old as time, and very sad.

It seems premature to blame to the death on what was injected into her (even if the wrong weight loss drug) before hearing the opinion of the pathologists.

Sanitation is god.

I agree and am also skeptical that this was a "fatal dose" of sema. I suspect it to be more likely related to underlying issues (those pesky comorbidities that we are all too familiar with) or other condition/event unrelated to sema. Hopefully the professionals who figure this stuff out won't be swayed by fearmongering or sympathy.

It's been a while since I've heard of one of those underground Botox "clinics" or pretend doctors injecting bovine fat for cosmetic reasons killing anyone, and have a feeling this may be a similar situation where whatever was being injected wasn't what anyone said or thought it was.
