Karen Goode, of San Antonio, is suing for $1,000,000 after she said rice and beans she ate at Popeyes in spring 2015 were infested with flesh-eating worms, according to KDAF.
In the lawsuit filed in Bexar County, Goode's attorney, Patrick Stolmeier, argues the franchisee, Z&H Foods, should have known about the screwworms and never served the tainted food to customers.
He also described what Goode allegedly endured after consuming the screwworms:
"Plaintiff purchased rice and beans from Defendants' restaurant that contained flesh eating New World Screwworms, and Plaintiff unknowingly ingested the flesh eating screwworms. The flesh eating screwworms entered Plaintiff's digestive track, laid eggs which embedded in the interior lining of Plaintiff's small intestine, and when hatched, infested Plaintiff's body and began to eat Plaintiff alive from the inside-out."

Good grief. After reading that article, I am nearly speechless.
She was completely hammered. Good thing some innocent driver or bystander was not killed.
In the article, they were talking about how overpowered the car is, and if someone accidentally hits the gas instead of the brake...
If the girl hadn’t been so intoxicated, maybe her foot wouldn’t be likely to hit the gas instead of the brake, or she might have the faculties to be able to maneuver the car to navigate a turn or avoid a hazard.
Lawsuits like this just piss me off. I hold no water for Tesla.
Hahahahaha! GREAT posting!
Fo Shiznet!
The merits of this case will not matter.
Popeye's has money
The Plaintiff needs it.
Her Lawyer REALLY wants it.
"You Honor, we, the members of the Jury, find for the Plaintiff." ("And we feel SO warm & fuzzy for making her rich!")
“And, she’s taking us all to lunch at KFC!”
But that evening we decided to splurge and took both our parents out to the only steak house around, the Tunnel Steak House. It was named for a nearby tunnel on the road up the mountain. It was known for its delicious, mouth-watering steaks. We'd only been there once before because it was pricey.
Much to our surprise and chagrin, they claimed they were out of steaks that evening. Out of steaks? They were a freakin' steak restaurant! We couldn't believe it. We drove back down the mountain to town and dined at our favorite Mexican restaurant instead.
Ironically, my wife and I, 42 years later, are now retired and raise Angus beef on our farm. One freezer is full of steaks and hamburger from one our own steers. Maybe we're unconsciously afraid of running out of steak......
So cooking doesn’t kill the little buggers?
Maggots. Gross.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I suspect there was nothing wrong with the rice and beans.
No need to prove anything. She's looking for a quick "shut up and go away" settlement.
You'd be surprised how lucrative this gig can be. Works more often than you'd think.
Eh?
This is the kind of thing you would get from eating raw food. Not beans and rice.
It is not only cooked, it is really well cooked.
No big deal, Popeyes has been lacing their food with birth control drugs and screw worms for years.
It looks like you did more research than she did. But then there is
"Flesh-Eating Worms Invade Woman's Ear." The scratching sound that Rochelle Harris kept hearing was all in her head — literally.
After the British tourist returned from a vacation in Peru earlier this year, she started experiencing headaches, shooting pains down the side of her face and an unexplained discharge from one ear.
Those symptoms, plus the bizarre scratching sounds she continued hearing, prompted Harris to visit a doctor soon after her return to England.
Though doctors at first dismissed the symptoms as nothing more than an ear infection, specialists soon made a startling discovery: Harris' ear was filled with flesh-eating worms, according to the Daily Mail. The worms that Harris, 27, was hosting were the larvae of the New World screwworm fly (Cochliomyia hominivorax). http://www.livescience.com/38204-flesh-eating-worms-maggot-therapy-screwworm-fly.html
