McDonald's Quarter Pounder gave me E.coli and put me in the hospital
Do you want a lawsuit with that?
A cheesed-off customer impacted by the deadly E.coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers is taking supersized legal action.
Clarissa DeBock told reporters she didn’t notice anything wrong with her meal while dining with her fiancé at their local Golden Arches in North Platte, Nebraska, last month.
But five days later, she began to suffer from abdominal cramps, diarrhea and nausea, with her symptoms becoming so severe on Sept. 25 that she rushed herself to the hospital.
“I could just tell that something was off by the cramps, just because they were so bad,” she revealed to NBC News. “You get cramps with the flu and stuff, but it was different.”
Tests revealed that she was infected with E.coli strain O157:H7 — the same one connected to the recent outbreak.
The 33-year-old receptionist at a surgical center chalks her illness up to the bacterial burger from the fast food giant.
“It’s just scary, I guess, just because you trust them as a fast food place. You’re putting your trust in them to provide safe food,” she said.
