Summary
A TikToker shared a story about her brother who allegedly got a severe Campylobacter infection from eating Chipotle chicken, which almost led to paralysis. The brother had symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, and hospital staff said he was lucky to have received treatment before the infection caused Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Campylobacter infection: the new black. Eating Chipotle chicken: the new Russian roulette. Guillain-Barré syndrome: the new “I’m just tired”.
People are horrified, but not surprised. Because, of course, it’s Chipotle. And, of course, it’s a bacterial infection that can cause paralysis. Just another day in the life of a foodie.
The TikToker’s brother was lucky, but others might not be. So, eat at your own risk, folks. Or, you know, just stick to veggie bowls.
And remember, if you do get a Campylobacter infection, just tell yourself it’s a “complication” and not a “consequence” of eating undercooked chicken.
