According to reports by the New York Post, Barajas became infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a bacterial strain known for its potency. Her close friend, Anna Messina, told KRON, "She almost lost her life. She was on a respirator. They put her into a medically induced coma. Her fingers were black, her feet were black, her bottom lip was black. She had complete sepsis, and her kidneys were failing." "It's just been really heavy on all of us. It’s terrible. This could’ve happened to any of us," she added.
