‘As soon as I got home I didn’t feel well.
‘I found these little worms in my Big Mac. I’m so upset. There were about 10 more when I first opened it.
“Everyone crawled into the burger. Look at that. I ate it.”
She added: “I can’t believe it. No wonder I’m so sick. I’ve never felt so sick in my life.”
‘I go to the bathroom every 15 minutes. I’ve lost seven pounds since eating this.
‘I didn’t know McDonald’s could make you lose weight.
“Now everything makes sense. I have to decide whether I should go to the hospital or not.”
MailOnline has contacted McDonalds for comment.
