Taco Bell’s cyclosporiasis-induced woes are set to continue. Barely a week after the company took to its various social media platforms to assure consumers they could still trust its food, a lawsuit has now been filed against it. A Detroit woman who fell ill with cyclosporiasis says she contracted it after eating at the chain and ended up needing 30 to 40 trips to the bathroom every day.
Ella-Salone Jones said her bout with cyclosporiasis first materialized as severe gastrointestinal symptoms that sent her to the hospital. According to The Independent, the outbreak has now caused 4,000 cases, with 300 of them resulting in hospitalizations. Taco Bell locations in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia were found to have served shredded iceberg lettuce linked to the outbreak.
