Immigrant populations are practicing some dangerous health practices. “Teresa Muñoz of San Bernardino died last year following an injection of an antibiotic she’d purchased from an unlicensed practitioner at a Rialto swap meet.
Rialto police said Muñoz bought the antibiotic and a syringe in September 2004, and the merchant showed her how to inject herself at home.
But the 42-year-old Mexican immigrant, who was seeking relief from a cough perhaps the flu had a severe allergic reaction following the injection. Days later, she was dead.”
