Lizard In Hospital Sandwich

A hospital visitor found a dead lizard inside the canteen sandwich. He became very angry with this. He complained to the hospital authority about this.

Medics gave him Giuseppe Ferri the all clear at Maceretta hospital, in central Italy, but have launched an investigation into the snack horror.

Ferri said,"I opened it up and saw the dead animal and nearly passed out. It was so disgusting I felt sick."

He added: "The doctors said I am in no danger and no harm will come to me but I think it is outrageous that this has happened in a hospital, where standards of hygiene and on things like this should be extra high."

Caterers say the reptile must have fallen into the machinery at the factory that prepared the sandwiches for the health authority.
