Man’s 67 Plants Became The Focus Of His Health Issue, But Experts Say There’s More To The Story

A man went viral after claiming that touching dozens of his houseplants landed him in the hospital.

In July, Clifton Wallace, from Houston, Texas, posted a video of himself in the hospital on an IV drip. The video featured overlay text that read, “Me getting ready for my Netflix documentary on how my 67 plants got me sick and now I have to live in the hospital until I get a heart transplant.”

In the days that followed, Clifton continued sharing updates from the hospital, telling his followers that he was on the waitlist for a heart transplant.

Bored Panda contacted two doctors to learn more about the case and find out whether the plants played a role in his ongoing health crisis.
