Woman sues Chinese buffet for £800k after suffering terrifying ‘fried rice syndrome’

[Ulquiorra]

A WOMAN is suing a Chinese buffet for £800,000 claiming she contracted deadly "fried rice syndrome" from a meal.

Germaine Mobley, 62, suffered severe nausea and vomiting after being infected by a potentially fatal bacteria Bacillus Cereus.

It is dubbed "fried rice syndrome" as it is commonly spread in rice dishes that are left at room temperature for several hours.

Mrs Mobley alleges that she was struck down by a severe bout of the disease when she went to Asian King Buffet in Waxahachie, Texas, for a lunch in 2016.

She ordered fried rice at the restaurant and began to feel sick during the drive home, it is claimed.

Mrs Mobley told news station WFMY that "everything tasted fine" but later she "just started vomiting.

"The next morning, I was having problems breathing, so my husband called an ambulance.”

She was taken to intensive care where she stayed for eight days — and even needed to be put on a ventilator, Dallas News reported.

Mrs Mobley’s attorney Kathryn Knotts told the paper: "'Fried rice syndrome’ sounds like a joke, but it’s very serious.

"I remember going, 'I've never even heard of this'.

"She wasn't sure what could even really be done, she just wanted this to not continue to happen to other people."

The restaurant has reportedly denied the allegations that their food caused Mrs Mobley's illness.

The Sun has contacted Asian King Buffet for comment.
