Tilapia Warning: US Woman Loses All Four Limbs After Eating Contaminated Fish

A woman has had all four of her limbs amputated after she became dangerously sick when she ate tilapia.

A tragic incident has unfolded in California, where a woman has tragically lost all four of her limbs. This devastating outcome is the result of her contracting a bacterial infection, reportedly stemming from the consumption of undercooked tilapia fish that had been contaminated with a lethal strain of bacteria, according to accounts from her friends.

Laura Barajas, a 40-year-old mother, underwent the lifesaving surgery on Thursday after a months-long stay in the hospital, the New York Post reports.

"It's just been really heavy on all of us. It's terrible. This could've happened to any of us," Ms Barajas' friend Anna Messina told KRON.
