An unfortunate man says he started throwing up after chewing on a used plaster in his Chinese takeaway.
The diner known only as Przemek believes the plaster may have come from a staff member preparing his food, adding that he is worried he may need medical attention as he is scared of getting ill.
The 19-year-old claimed he has tried to reaching out to the eatery, but that he is unable to get through as the number just rings out.
Przemek, from Leith in Edinburgh, said he and his partner decided to order a takeaway as they were tired and didn't have much food in the house.
The couple ordered a vegetable fried rice and beef fillet with black pepper and honey sauce, reports EdinburghLive.
On his ordeal, he said: “My partner and I decided to order some food online due to tiredness and lack of food at home.
“We ordered food from a Chinese restaurant, with my partner and I having vegetable fried rice and beef fillet with black pepper and honey sauce.
“During the meal I struggled to chew the food so I took it out of my mouth and found that what I was struggling to chew was actually a used plaster that was stuck together like a ring.
“I’m assuming it must have fallen off of a cook's finger or someone else that was preparing the food, god knows who.
“I literally threw up in the toilet straight away, that's how disgusted I was by this horrible experience and I think I should see the doctor for a check up in case I am poisoned.
“I've sent a photo of it as proof. I tried to contact the restaurant through the phone number provided by JustEat but I received no answer.
“I’m also planning on contacting Edinburgh Council - I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.”
The restaurant was contacted for comment by EdinburghLive.
