Health Officials Confirm Human Finger Found In Chili

UPDATED: 10:34 pm PST March 23, 2005SANTA CLARA -- Health officials confirmed Wednesday that a woman eating at a fast-food restaurant in San Jose Tuesday night bit into part of a human finger found in a bowl of chili.
Sheriff's Deputy Terrance Helm said the 20-year-old woman ordered a bowl of chili and actually bit into the cooked fingertip.
"She was a bit grossed out and vomited numerous times," health Officer Dr. Marty Fenstersheib said. "She was emotionally distraught."
Health officials revealed that the fingertip was approximately one and one-half inches long. A fingernail was also discovered.
San Jose police officers responded to the scene and took possession of the digit, preserving it until health officials could examine the find.
The finger was considered to be fairly well preserved and did not show major signs of decomposition, according to Fenstersheib.
Health officials report the finger appears to have been torn off and not sliced with a knife, indicating it was possibly severed by a machine during the packaging process.
Despite the obviously unpleasant nature of the discovery, the health risks are being considered minimal.
Fenstersheib said the chili was cooked at 170 degrees and served on a steam tray at 150 degrees, temperatures high enough to destroy any viruses such as HIV or Hepatitis.
If the woman did contract any of the viruses, they would likely not show up in her system for six months.
Fenstersheib said a baseline test was conducted on the woman to determine if she had any diseases prior to contact with the finger, as doctors will await the six-month incubation period to determine if she contracted anything.
She will likely have one year in order to file a lawsuit in the case.
Health officials are beginning their investigation into determining the owner and origin of the finger.

when i read that story i thought "dang" if your finger did come off, wouldn't you notice? ha i mean how can you not tell that your finger is probably somewhere in a 1,000 gallon pail of chilli. i had just eaten at wendy's the day before that, so i don't think i'll go back there for a while. anyone know how much they're getting sued for?

They might not get sued since technically it wasnt "their" fault but since she was "a bit grossed out" i think she'll try lol. Hell if some woman can get millions from Mcdonalds for burning hot coffee theres gotta be loot with chilli that comes with a finger lol.

my guess is that it happened at the factory that makes the chili (overseas maybe??) and it was just never found even after it was reported.
