I mean he had to turn around and look at that in the toilet. That trauma alone is worth at least a mil.

Lawsuit says eatery to blame for 9-foot tapeworm

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A man who contends he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating undercooked fish has sued a Chicago restaurant.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, Anthony Franz said he ordered salmon salad for lunch from Shaw's Crab House in 2006 and fell violently ill. He later passed the giant parasite, which a pathologist determined came from undercooked fish, such as salmon.

Franz's lawsuit seeks $100,000 from Shaw's and its parent company, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, contending the restaurant's staff was negligent in serving him improperly cooked fish.

But Carrol Symank, vice president of food safety for Lettuce Entertain You, said the tapeworm didn't come from Shaw's.

"We have done a thorough investigation, and we're confident the restaurant is not the source," he said.

According to the Web site mayoclinic.com, tapeworms can measure up to 50 feet long.

How the fuck does he think he instantly grew a 9 FOOT tapeworm?

Does he think he ate that shit and just didn't notice it going down?

How fast do those things grow?

Between this and the Dead Man Standing thread.....I think I'm going to be sick.

first off people have been eating Salmon raw for like ever ..@sd Tapeworms are mostly found in dogs and cats ..3rd there are very few cases of humans getting tapeworms usually found in children..and just how did this worm pass threw him as that just does not happen, in fact they are very hard to get rid of in humans, and yes some species are in fact found in some Sushi or raw fish yet it's extremely rare and last off that species does not get 9 ft or anywhere near there for that matter..This man is a scam artist who read a recent article on tapeworms, if he has got his facts right yes the case would be worth more than 100,000

They run many of the "In" & "Trendy" restaurants in the chicago area.

I spoke to one of my lawyers and she even though she's not a civil litigator she believes that they wont get $100,000. There are circumstances where they might but it's rare.

thats becuase ur laywer is smart and can see a scam

people in the Victorian times purposely used to eat these cos they help you to lose weight cos the parasite absorbs some of the food

One of my other lawyers said that she would do it for $20,000, meaning she would eat something with a tapeworm and then sue. Haahahaaaa!!
