My mother was binge watching Netflix with a show that had like 11 or more episodes over a span of 11 or so seasons. She bought a MASSIVE tub of black licorice to enjoy. She ate lunch and dinner as she normally does, but she ate a lot of the licorice as well.
After day 4 of watching she started noticing palpitations in her heart and called me. I came and found her unconscious. Dialed 911. They asked if she ingested anything I could see around her that was out of the ordinary. Uh, just a half empty jug of black licorice... Did she eat the other half? I guess... Do you know how long it took her to eat it? No fucking idea, but she did mention about 3 or 4 days ago that she was going to binge watch a show on Netflix. We are sending an ambulance. Please check her pulse and make sure she is still breathing.
EMT's injected her with some potassium and vitamin D. She was fine almost immediately. But they insisted she get checked out at the hospital (and they make a lot more money when they get you there).
First I had ever heard of something like that. She doesn't eat it anymore.
