And so later that day, sure enough, a gas inspector showed up to Umar and Samira's apartment and they checked the entire place and they could not find any trace of a gas leak. They checked everywhere. There was no leak. But they did tell Umar and Samira that, yes, we can smell a faint trace of some chemical smell, but we don't think it's gas.

And then after the gas inspector left, the landlord went out and found a mold inspector who came into Umar and Samira's apartment. They looked everywhere and could not find any mold. Then the landlord brought in a plumber to check the hot water heater, but no issues with that. Then the landlord brought an HVAC company in and they checked the air conditioning units and there was no leak.

And so finally, after the landlord had kind of run out of ideas for who to bring over to check the apartment, because again, by this point, nobody had found anything wrong with the apartment, Umar just said, you know what, I'm going to call the fire department. And so Umar, he calls the fire department and the fire department, they send over their hazardous materials team or their hazmat team.

And so they go into the apartment and they look everywhere and there is nothing. They could not find any source that was causing the smell at all. It seemed very much like their apartment was totally safe and fine. But by this point, it's now been two weeks since Umar, Samira and their baby had come back from that trip and they still felt totally horrible.

Umar still had his headaches, he was still losing his hair, Samira had begun losing her hair as well, she still had her headaches, she still felt lethargic, and their baby was still losing her hair, and she still was fussy and miserable.

And all three of them now had developed this weird shortness of breath, where they'd just be walking through the apartment, and suddenly it was like they couldn't even breathe. And so now they've had all these people who can't find anything wrong with their apartment. They'd gone to their doctors and the doctors had no idea what was wrong with them.

And so it was kind of like they had no idea what to do. But clearly this crisis was only getting worse and worse and worse. And so Umar felt like he had no more options. He couldn't leave his apartment. He couldn't afford to do that. And so they were just stuck in this place that seemed toxic.
