Gurgaon woman who vomited blood after dry ice horror: ‘Restaurant staff ran away’
The woman said that after the Guragon restaurant waitress gave them dry ice instead of mouth freshener, they started to vomit blood and shivered in pain.
In what could be their worst ever outing, five people in Gurgaon began vomiting blood and complained of a burning sensation in their mouths after they consumed what they thought was mouth freshener after their dinner at a restaurant earlier this month. Later, it was found that the supposed "mouth freshener" was dry ice.
The manager of the Gurgaon restaurant and the waitress who served the dry ice were arrested a few days after the incident.
Over three weeks after the incident, one of the victims shared the horrific experience and what followed.
