More than 500 McDonald's customers sick as human FAECES parasite found in salads

More than 500 McDonald's customers became ill after a parasite typically found in human waste was found inside the fast food chain's salads.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an investigation after 507 people across 16 states reported sickness and diarrhea.

The unwanted ingredient hidden within the lettuce is known to cause intestinal illness.

Symptoms typically kick in after a week and include 'explosive' bowel movements.

Yesterday the FDA confirmed cyclospora was detected within the Fresh Express romaine lettuce and carrot mix that McDonald's use in their meals.

The gruesome situation first came to light in May 20, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention.

The restaurant decided temporarily remove the salads at the 3,000 affected restaurants on July 13.

Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin and New York were all affected by the contaminated salads.

Cyclospora parasite can also cause weight loss, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever and body aches and in some cases it can last as long as a few months.
