A dream vacation turned into a nightmare for two college students from Oklahoma State University when they were allegedly poisoned after ordering water from a poolside bar at a Cancun resort. Zara Hull and Kaylie Pitze shared disturbing photos showing the moment they became unconscious after drinking the tainted water on August 1st. Hull explained how she went from calling her mom to gush about the resort’s beauty to being completely incoherent and unconscious within hours.
The group of friends, including Hull and Pitze, had their four-day trip to Cancun cut short due to the incident. Stephanie Snider, whose son Jake is dating Hull, took to Facebook to reveal that the girls were slipped a drug in their drinks at the resort, causing them to pass out simultaneously. Jake described the unsettling experience at the pool, mentioning a resort employee’s possible involvement in the incident.
Following the episode at the pool, Pitze was wheeled back to their room while Hull was carried by Jake. Hull started vomiting and appeared to have a seizure, prompting a visit to the hospital where they were asked for $10,000 upfront for treatment. Pitze, fortunately, did not require hospitalization but still struggled in the aftermath of the incident.
Nearly a day and a half later, Hull’s family managed to arrange for her to be flown to Dallas for further medical care after spending a significant amount of money. Snider expressed relief that Hull was regaining her appetite and ability to drink fluids independently. She hopes that their harrowing experience serves as a cautionary tale for others visiting similar resorts.
Despite the traumatic ordeal, the names of the resort and hospital involved have not been disclosed due to legal reasons. Hull emphasized the importance of not assuming that resorts are inherently safe and urged others to exercise caution even within resort premises. The family’s experience highlights the potential dangers that can lurk even in seemingly secure vacation destinations.
