Exploding toilet at a Dunkin’ store in Florida left a customer filthy and injured, lawsuit claims

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.
Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.
After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.
When contacted Thursday by email for more details on Kerouac’s injuries, his attorney, Scott Spradley, said he was tied up and couldn’t answer the questions until the following day. The Canton, Massachusetts-based company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The lawsuit says Kerouac suffered “bodily injury,” and he has required mental health care and counseling since the incident in January 2022.

Ronny Kay was considered an important figure in Montreal’s Chinese community. He was a businessman, a part-time actor, and his friends and family say he was active in his neighbourhood. That was until Sept. 17, 2022 – the day he had an argument with his girlfriend. He seemed to be in distress, and police were called in. Then, Kay was shot dead in the middle of the street. One year later, community members say they still aren’t clear on just why Kay was shot.

when I was a kid in Poway California walking thru brush I stepped on something that felt like a water filled fire hose. I took a few steps and looked around and whatever it was disappeared. It could have been a rattler or it could have been a king snake that just fed on a rattler . In Marin county I saw a snake coming down off the hillside slithering into a drainage grate. It was so long I couldn't see the head or the tail. Course I was a kid so I'm sure it wasn't as big as my eyes made it to be, but it was a huge snake. Hell, could have been a boa or python.

What makes Varespladib promising is that it blocks phospholipase-A2, a highly toxic protein that is present in 95% of all snake venoms and plays a direct role in life-threatening tissue destruction, catastrophic bleeding, paralysis and respiratory failure. Proponents say the small synthetic molecule has the potential to stop or reverse neurological damage, as well as restore normal blood clotting ability when administered immediately after envenoming.

my god I cant believe how much anti-venom costs. But this pill can be taken into the field and buy victims time to get to the hospital
