Sep
PARIS—A Toronto woman is fighting back from near death after more than a dozen people were infected with botulism, one fatally, from sardines at a French wine bar.
Restaurant manager Jubilee Pridham, 33, is now paralyzed, blinded and breathing with the help of a mechanical ventilator after she and two other Canadians stopped in at the Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux for an early dinner on Sept. 9.
The Tchin Thin wine bar is seen in Bordeaux, southwestern France, source of a botulism outbreak.
Jubilee Pridham’s family has launched a fundraising campaign as she faces a long and difficult recovery.
