A trip to McDonalds has cost a Colorado teen two weeks of school -- and nearly ended her life.
She's among dozens of victims of the deadly e-coli outbreak blamed on an ingredient in one of the chain's popular sandwiches.
The teen is hospitalized with kidney failure after she says she ate tainted burgers at McDonald's.
"I have a central line in my neck," said Kamberlyn Bowler.
Bowler is one of at least 75 people sickened by an e-coli outbreak linked to onions On Quarter Pounders.
The outbreak spread to 13 states, with one death confirmed.
Bowler says she ate Quarter Pounders in Grand Junction, Colorado, in the weeks before the outbreak was reported.
Then, she started getting stomach cramps so bad that she says she couldn't get out of bed and was "surviving on popsicles."
"Acute kidney failure, and HUS is what we were told first. They came back and said that she had E. coli," said Bowler mother, Brittany Randall.
She received dialysis for 10 days.
Her family's lawyer also represents 32 other alleged victims of the outbreak.
