Elissa Hospitalized in Pods for Nail Glue

Elissa Finley was almost blinded on her search for love.

The Love Is Blind contestant experienced a frightening health scare on season 10 of the Netflix show—out Feb. 11—as she was seen rushing into the women’s lounge shouting, “Oh my god! What do I do? F–k!” 

“I know, you’re scared right now,” a producer told her offscreen, as a crew member advised, “We’re going to have to send you out.”

It turned out that Elissa, 38, had accidentally put nail glue in her eyes, thinking it was eye drops, leading her to be rushed to the hospital. 

She returned in episode two to continue her time on the dating show, telling her female costars, “I missed you all so much.” 

Elissa—who works as a nurse in Ohio—then detailed what happened during the medical emergency, saying, “I go in and there’s a little bottle there, and I wanted to put eye drops in my eye. It was nail glue.”

“I was scared,” she continued. “I thought I was gonna lose sight. Nail glue, what?!”
