You might have seen lions, leopards, crocodiles, or other carnivorous creatures eating raw meat. Many hunt and eat, while those who are kept in zoos or other safe places are given raw meat.
But have you ever seen a person eating raw meat? These days, an American girl is in the news who eats raw meat. She chews up to 1 kg of meat every day. When his stomach was examined, the doctors were stunned to see the report.
Wendy Marshall, the owner of a tattoo shop in Florida, is 28 years old and has a strange hobby. Wendy eats about two pounds of raw meat every day. Ground beef, cold cuts, whole roasts, porterhouse steaks, the more raw and bloody the meat, the better. He says he finds a strange solace in “scraping the meat straight from the bone and eating it.” This story came to light through an episode of the TV show My Strange Addiction, which has created a lot of stir on social media as well. Wendy Marshall claims that she has had this habit since her childhood, when she used to eat raw meat while sitting with her grandmother. Her grandmother died of bladder cancer about five years ago, but Wendy still associates this habit with her memories.

Although eating raw meat is not considered unusual in some cultures. This has been a tradition in Ethiopia and some tribal communities in the Arctic regions. Despite this, experts say that Wendy’s case is extremely dangerous. Raw meat can contain dangerous bacteria and parasites like Salmonella, E.coli, Listeria and Campylobacter, which cause serious diseases. In one scene of the show, she takes out raw beef from her purse and starts eating it in the nail salon, seeing which the nail technician gets so nervous that he refuses to do her manicure.

His partner Robert is also not very happy with this habit. Robert’s family members once expressed their displeasure over this issue at a party held at his house. When Wendy started eating raw steak in front of everyone, a relative said she felt like vomiting. The family believes that it is difficult to accept this kind of behavior at the dinner table. Due to the family’s concern, Wendy keeps getting herself tested. Medical examination revealed that there was chronic presence of E.coli bacteria in Wendy’s intestines. Although E.coli usually causes symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea and fever, Wendy did not show any symptoms. Doctors believe that due to being in contact with this bacteria for a long time, his body has ‘adjusted’ to it, which is a dangerous sign in itself. Due to this, bacteria can also become resistant to antibiotics. The doctors’ warnings frightened Wendy. He acknowledged that if antibiotics do not work in case of a serious illness, there could be a danger to life. After this he decided to make some rules. Wendy will not stop eating raw meat completely, but will no longer eat ground meat and will only eat grass-fed meat from good sources.
