Chapter 45 You Would Give Me Cash

Kate was confused, but she complied and got a trash bag from the kitchen. Without hesitation, Kaia pulled the bag over Benedict's head. The sight of it sent Amethyst, Samuel, and Wendy into a frenzy of shock and rage. "Kaia, how could you be so cruel? Why are you trying to suffocate him with a trash bag? Are you even human?" Wendy lunged at Kaia, but Kaia shoved her away with ease. "Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about," Kaia snapped, stunning everyone into silence. She swept her cold gaze over them and said, "The purpose of putting a plastic bag over the head is to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the body. When a person hyperventilates, they exhale too much carbon dioxide, causing the carbon dioxide levels in the body to drop. "That raises the blood pH and leads to respiratory alkalosis. By covering the mouth and nose with a plastic bag, the exhaled carbon dioxide gets re-inhaled, which helps bring the body's acid-base balance back to normal."
