Five new McDonald’s customers hospitalized in Quarter Pounder E Coli outbreak as teen victim reveals horror symptoms

Five new McDonald’s customers hospitalized in Quarter Pounder E Coli outbreak as teen victim reveals horror symptoms
Spread the love

An avid hiker and skateboarder was left doubled over in pain and feeling like there were ‘knives in my stomach’ after eating a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder — as another 15 people are sickened in the outbreak.

Silas Mayes, 17, from Colorado, visited the fast food chain — one of his favorites — for lunch with his father in early October.

The burger both looked and tasted normal, but three days later he woke up in the night suffering from bloody diarrhea and cramps that were ‘the worst pain I have ever experienced,’ he told DailyMail.com.

Silas was rushed to the ER by his mother Lera Davidson, where doctors gave him pain medication and hydrating fluids.

He was discharged, but the next day kept getting worse — unable to keep down food or water — and was taken back to the hospital, where he received fentanyl and medications to manage his symptoms.

The Mayes family is attributing his illness to the E.coli outbreak at McDonald’s. And it comes as another 15 people were reported to have been sickened and five hospitalized due to the outbreak.

This takes the total to at least 90 people being infected overall, according to officials, while 27 people have been hospitalized and one has died. At least two have also been left battling kidney failure — including a 15-year-old girl and 88-year-old woman.

The CDC said today the chopped onions in the burgers were the source of the infection, adding now that these have been recalled, the risk to the public was ‘very low.’

Silas went to the McDonald’s for the Quarter Pounder with his father on October 7, while they were on a lunch break from their tiling job.

On October 10, he woke up his mother clutching his stomach saying that cramps were suddenly coming on in waves. 

She rushed him to the hospital, where he received pain medication and was discharged. 

But after his symptoms did not improve the next day, he returned for further treatment.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Silas said: ‘It was basically the worst pain I have ever experienced, like knives in my stomach.

‘I would have these ongoing cramps every three minutes and it was just, like, this really sharp pain — it was unbearable. 

‘I haven’t been able to pick up any of my hobbies again or anything because of how sick I’ve been.’

Tests later showed he had been infected with the same strain of E.coli as that behind the McDonald’s outbreak. 

After he was discharged again, Ms Davidson said her son stayed at home laying in bed for three days.

She described him as ‘very weak’ after losing 10 pounds and being left feeling tired and fatigued all the time. 

Describing his condition now — nearly three weeks after he first suffered symptoms — she said: ‘He is still not too great.

‘The major symptoms are gone, but the nausea and fatigue are still there. He is very weak.

The Mayes family plans to file a lawsuit against McDonald's over the coming days

‘He was avidly working out before, but now he has lost 10 pounds.

‘Of course, he has tried to pick up his skateboard again and he does try to do tricks on it — but he is just too weak now to perform any.’

Investigators at the CDC today confirmed the chopped yellow onions in the burgers were the likely source of the E.coli.

The Quarter Pounder was also withdrawn from a fifth of McDonald’s restaurants amid the outbreak last week, but it has now returned — although in 700 locations it is being served without the onions.

Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut have all also stopped using onions as a ‘proactive’ measure amid the outbreak.

In its update today, the CDC said the most recent case of someone falling ill in the outbreak was October 16. The first illnesses were detected on September 27. 

Ms Davidson added: ‘I don’t trust McDonald’s. We won’t be grabbing a McDonald’s burger or burger from anywhere anymore.

‘We won’t touch it because I saw how ill my son was, and still is, I don’t want anyone to get that ill. I prepare all the food at home now and I am double and triple washing everything that I touch to be safe.’

Silas is the latest patient to come forward to reveal his illness, after a 15-year-old girl also in Colorado and a 33-year-old mother in Nebraska also detailed their illnesses.

Many patients have fallen ill between late September and mid October, although experts say more cases may emerge

And a man in Colorado has filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s over the outbreak. 

Dozens of victims are being represented by national food poisoning lawyer Ron Simon, who told DailyMail.com he is now working with 36 victims of the outbreak — including two who are battling kidney complications.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s did not return a DailyMail.com request for comment.

But in response to a previous case, they said that hearing the cases was ‘devastating’.

The spokesperson added: ‘We know that people and families have been significantly impacted, and the well-being of our customers is deeply important to us.’

The Mayes family said they had not heard from McDonald’s since their son fell ill.

They are now considering legal action against the fast food giant, which operates more than 14,300 restaurants nationwide.

After Silas tested positive for E.coli, the local health department interviewed him and his mother about his illness and the possible source of infection.

This led to his case being linked to the current outbreak at McDonald’s.

Silas is the second oldest of four children and lives at home with his family and five dogs. He also has a girlfriend, who he said was very supportive throughout the sickness.

I stayed at a lakeside lodge at Leeds Castle, a spectacular former Henry VIII love nest – this is what it’s like…
Spread the love

When Henry VIII transformed Leeds Castle into a Tudor palace, little could he have imagined that it would become an attraction with half a million annual visitors and a cafe serving high teas with smoked salmon sandwiches and prosecco.

But it has.

Tourists flock to see the love nest Henry renovated in 1519 for his first wife Catherine of Aragon, below, on the site of a Norman stronghold.

Prior to his rule, the fortress had been mainly known as a home (willingly or otherwise) to a succession of queens.

The first, Eleanor of Castile from 1278, installed a medieval writing room for copying manuscripts.

Meanwhile, Queen Joan of Navarre was imprisoned there for witchcraft in 1419.

Its last female owner in the 1920s, Lady Baillie, was renowned for throwing lavish parties for politicians, socialites and Hollywood stars, with it called ‘the perfect place in which to spend a weekend’.

Almost a century later, much the same can be said.

Entering the dining room to the sound of swing music, it’s easy to imagine Charlie Chaplin, one of Lady Baillie’s guests, standing by a tower of champagne glasses – just like the one in the window today that aims to capture the essence of that heady period.

The castle, set in rolling Kentish countryside (the M20 cutting through not too far away), is flanked by two pleasant villages listed in the Domesday Book.

The closest is tiny Broomfield, home to two fine Tudor houses, while the highlight of delightful Hollingbourne – just to the north – is All Saints Church, dating from the 14th Century.

This contains a superb 17th Century embroidery depicting fruit trees and cherubs.

This atmospheric 18th century pub, which also has rooms, serves first-rate lamb roasts on Sundays. 

The countryside is criss-crossed with excellent hiking trails, one of which follows the Pilgrims Way through the North Downs.

We choose a 90-minute loop past oast houses and a vineyard.

Back at our lakeside lodge, within the grounds of Leeds Castle, we enjoy views of the lake from our outdoor bath – and keep wondering what Henry VIII would make of it all.

Listeria risk sparks recall of brie and other popular cheeses by major stores including Aldi: Avoid these brands

Listeria risk sparks recall of brie and other popular cheeses by major stores including Aldi: Avoid these brands
Spread the love

Several brands of soft cheese have been recalled due to possible contamination with the deadly bacteria listeria. 

Savencia Cheese USA announced last week seven of its brie products manufactured at a Pennsylvania facility may have been exposed to listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that causes the foodborne illness listeria.

According to an FDA notice, the bacterium was found in processing equipment at the plant after routine testing, but finished cheeses have not tested positive for the bacteria. 

However, the agency is still initiating a recall to ‘retrieve the potentially affected product.’ 

The cheeses had ‘limited regional distribution’ in stores including Aldi and Market Basket, but the FDA has not revealed any other retailers that are selling the products.

The ‘few retailers’ selling them, however, have pulled the food from their shelves. 

Impacted states include Indiana, Missouri, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, Iowa, New Jersey, California, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Illinois.  

No illnesses have been reported, but the recall is among many recent incidents that have sparked concerns about America’s food supply.

La Bonne Vie Camembert (6/8 ounce) was among the cheeses recalled due to possibly containing listeria

La Bonne Vie Brie (6/8oz) and La Bonne Vie Camembert (6/8 ounce) were among the cheeses recalled due to possibly containing listeria

The seven recalled products include: Aldi Emporium Selection Brie (12/8oz Brie); Supreme Oval 7oz (6/7 ounce); La Bonne Vie Brie (6/8oz), La Bonne Vie Camembert (6/8 ounce); 12/8oz Industrial Brie; Market Basket Brie (6/8 ounce); and Glenview Farms Spreadable Brie (2/3lb).

The products were manufactured between September 30 and October 15, 2024 and six have a ‘best buy’ date of December 24, 2024. 

The Glenview product has a best-buy date of January 13, 2025. 

Listeria, also called Listeriosis, is a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. 

It can be found in moist environments, soil, water, decaying vegetation and animals, and can survive refrigeration and other food preservation measures. 

Many foods can harbor the bug, but it is usually found in unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses and ready-to-eat foods, such as prepacked sandwiches. 

Cooked shellfish, cured meats and fish, including sushi and pre-cut fruit, are also a risk.

Most people who eat food contaminated with Listeria will not become seriously ill. 

But in some cases, it can cause confusion and seizures, miscarriage in pregnant women, and even death.

This can happen when the infection spreads beyond the gut and affects the central nervous system, which can lead to numbness and seizures. 

Supreme Oval 7oz (6/7 ounce) cheese was also recalled. Those who purchased any recalled products are encouraged to return them to the place of purchase for a recall

The CDC estimates 1,600 Americans become infected with listeria every year, and about 260 die. 

Consumers who purchased any of the recalled cheeses are encouraged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. 

The recall comes amid several recent outbreaks of foodborne illness, which have left millions of Americans distrustful of the food supply. 

Listeria came into the spotlight earlier this year after the bug was found at a Boar’s Head plant in Virginia.

The illness hospitalized 59 Americans in 19 states and killed 10, eventually causing the factory to close. About seven million pounds of meat were recalled by the end of July.  

And earlier this month, McDonald’s was struck with an E.coli outbreak potentially linked to the chopped onions on its famous Quarter Pounder burgers. 

The outbreak has led to 75 illnesses and one death, along with two Americans fighting a deadly kidney injury tied to E.coli.

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has offered a possible reason that Manchester City may struggle to bring players in in January as the Citizens look to reassert themselves as Premier League title contenders. 

Man City naturally entered the campaign as the logical favourites to win a record-extending fifth consecutive Premier League crown in 2024-25 and further their claim to being England’s greatest ever side. 

They started the season as ominously as they have the last few, Erling Haaland continuing to tear through defences and Rodri playing the world’s greatest impression of a metronome to perfection.

However, their progress has been thrown off kilter of late, with the Spanish midfielder – who just own the Ballon d’Or ruled out for the rest of the season after a knee ligament injury suffered in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. 

Now City are running on the back of three straight defeats – Bournemouth in the Premier League, Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and Sport in the Champions League – and will surely be looking to replenish their squad in the January market.

Yet Carragher believes he has identified a key reason why players might not be so willing to sign on at the Etihad than you might expect. 

Manchester City are currently defending themselves in a case around 115 alleged breaches of the top-flight’s financial regulations.

Carragher, in his column for the Daily Telegraph, has pointed to this as a potential stumbling point when it comes to players considering signing for the club, and possibly helping Pep Guardiola’s side right the ship.

‘Whether he or anyone else would join City in January is linked to their second problem. Any player approached by City between now and the end of the season will want to wait for the outcome of the case into the 115 charges.

‘Nobody knows if there will be significant sporting sanctions against the club. Until that has been resolved, a wise agent will tell his client to let the process take its course before putting pen to paper, especially if they have alternative options.

‘No matter the stature of the club or how solid its foundations, a shadow will hang over it until the independent commission reaches its decisions – and it might drag on for a while if a guilty verdict and punishment leads to a lengthy appeal process.’

With Rodri out for the rest of the season, there have been reports linking the club to a number of defensive midfield targets. 

One such option that has been linked to the club frequently is Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad. 

City suffered their third consecutive defeat against Sporting in the Champions League in midweek

The deep-lying midfield player has been linked with moves to the Premier League – specifically Arsenal and Liverpool in recent windows. 

In fact, Zubimendi came close to joining the Anfield club last summer, only to pull out as he was not willing to leave his boyhood club, though a call from the four-in-a-row champions might carry a different level of attraction.  

Man City’s stars were torn apart in a 4-1 defeat by Sporting in Lisbon on Tuesday night, the latest in a string of poor results. 

Guardiola’s side had a night to forget as Viktor Gyokeres – who scored three – and Maximiliano Araujo found the back of the net to secure the hosts three points.

Al Murray has revealed his famous Pub Landlord costume has been stolen after thieves smashed into his car boot.

Taking to X, the stand-up comic posted a picture of the empty boot of his grey Mercedes, which had seen the glass smashed, with the caption: ‘Congratulations to the thief who will soon be dressing up as the Pub Landlord.’

The comedian, 56, also tagged the Metropolitan Police ‘s social media page into his post, after telling a fan in a later comment that the theft took place in Brentford, west London. 

Mr Murray posted the photo this morning after he had performed a show as the iconic character at the Princess Hall in Aldershot on Thursday night.

He also joked that there was now a ‘whole gang of Landlord scrotes’ as the thugs had taken a number of the character’s white shirts from the vehicle.  

The Pub Landlord – an opinionated English publican with an animosity towards the Germans and French – is known for wearing a white shirt with the Landlord Academy crest on it and a red suit jacket.

The beer-swilling character has often been seen on TV shows including the series Time Gentlemen Please and Fact Hunt, as well as being a regular part of Mr Murray’s stand-up shows. 

According to comments on the X post made by Mr Murray, the vehicle was a ‘hire car’ and he has ‘many’ spare costumes. 

This will ease the worries of fans who have paid to see his shows in Aylesbury and Cheltenham this weekend. 

In April, Mr Murray claimed that the new hate crime law in Scotland had put comedians at high risk of being arrested for gags that are just meant as tongue-in-cheek humour.

He said while he’s been able to say bigoted things in a humourous way as part of his fictional character’s outrageous views, it could now be interpreted in Scotland as criminal hate. 

Mr Murray said all comedians are in danger of being arrested for saying things they don’t believe in real life following the introduction of the Hate Crime and Public Order Act earlier this month. 

MailOnline has approached the Met for a comment.

The ‘two maidens’ of Pompeii may have been GAY LOVERS, scientists say – after reanalysing the iconic preserved figures found wrapped in a poignant embrace
Spread the love

What happened?  

Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year AD 79, burying the cities of Pompeii, Oplontis, and Stabiae under ashes and rock fragments, and the city of Herculaneum under a mudflow.  

Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano in continental Europe and is thought to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.  

Every single resident died instantly when the southern Italian town was hit by a 500°C pyroclastic hot surge.

Pyroclastic flows are a dense collection of hot gas and volcanic materials that flow down the side of an erupting volcano at high speed.

They are more dangerous than lava because they travel faster, at speeds of around 450mph (700 km/h), and at temperatures of 1,000°C.

An administrator and poet called Pliny the younger watched the disaster unfold from a distance. 

Letters describing what he saw were found in the 16th century.  

His writing suggests that the eruption caught the residents of Pompeii unaware.

Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year AD 79, burying the cities of Pompeii, Oplontis, and Stabiae under ashes and rock fragments, and the city of Herculaneum under a mudflow

He said that a column of smoke ‘like an umbrella pine’ rose from the volcano and made the towns around it as black as night.

People ran for their lives with torches, screaming and some wept as rain of ash and pumice fell for several hours.  

While the eruption lasted for around 24 hours, the first pyroclastic surges began at midnight, causing the volcano’s column to collapse.

An avalanche of hot ash, rock and poisonous gas rushed down the side of the volcano at 124mph (199kph), burying victims and remnants of everyday life.  

Hundreds of refugees sheltering in the vaulted arcades at the seaside in Herculaneum, clutching their jewelry and money, were killed instantly.

The Orto dei fuggiaschi (The garden of the Fugitives) shows the 13 bodies of victims who were buried by the ashes as they attempted to flee Pompeii during the 79 AD eruption of the Vesuvius volcano

As people fled Pompeii or hid in their homes, their bodies were covered by blankets of the surge.

While Pliny did not estimate how many people died, the event was said to be ‘exceptional’ and the number of deaths is thought to exceed 10,000.

What have they found?

This event ended the life of the cities but at the same time preserved them until rediscovery by archaeologists nearly 1700 years later.

The excavation of Pompeii, the industrial hub of the region and Herculaneum, a small beach resort, has given unparalleled insight into Roman life.

Archaeologists are continually uncovering more from the ash-covered city.

In May archaeologists uncovered an alleyway of grand houses, with balconies left mostly intact and still in their original hues.

A plaster cast of a dog, from the House of Orpheus, Pompeii, AD 79. Around 30,000 people are believed to have died in the chaos, with bodies still being discovered to this day

Some of the balconies even had amphorae – the conical-shaped terra cotta vases that were used to hold wine and oil in ancient Roman times.

The discovery has been hailed as a ‘complete novelty’ – and the Italian Culture Ministry hopes they can be restored and opened to the public.

Upper stores have seldom been found among the ruins of the ancient town, which was destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius volcano and buried under up to six meters of ash and volcanic rubble.

Around 30,000 people are believed to have died in the chaos, with bodies still being discovered to this day.

The Lebensborn programme, meaning spring or source of life, was one of the most secret and incredible projects of the regime in Nazi Germany. Its aim was to give birth to children who were seen as “perfect” in the eyes of the Nazis. These so-called Aryans – tall, blond and blue-eyed – were representatives of the “master race” that Adolf Hitler dreamed of. Our correspondent Anne Mailliet investigated this terrifying project and tracked down victims who are today more than 80 years old.
