Episode description

“Just Like the Movies”

A popcorn factory worker comes down with a painful, frightening rash on his arms – and then, he struggles to breathe. He and his wife are convinced something at his job is triggering these seemingly unconnected symptoms. But nobody believes them… until other workers start getting sick, too.

“Headache from Hell”

When a man in Orlando, Florida begins experiencing severe headaches, he figures it’s the same chronic migraines he’s dealt with for years. But this time, the pain won’t go away, and it turns out he’s dealing with something much more serious – and more revolting – than a headache.
