A Chicago woman was hospitalized with a severe gastrointestinal infection after eating a Wendy’s double cheeseburger she claims was “contaminated with Campylobacter and other illness producing bacteria,” according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
In her complaint, Roxie Ellis Douglas, 68, says the campylobacteriosis she contracted, which usually comes from exposure to, or cross-contamination with, raw or undercooked poultry, further led to acute infectious colitis, leukocytosis, dehydration, gastroenteritis and hypokalemia “secondary to diarrhea.”
