Still drinking your morning coffee? Finish it before you come back to this story. Seriously, this is good advice.

A Maryland woman has been charged with food or drink contamination—a felony— and three counts of second-degree assault after two of her roommates drank milk that they realized contained human skin, the St. Mary’s County sheriff said in a blog post.

These deeply unfortunate people live at a rooming house, where one of them had obtained a legal order on May 1 barring another resident, Sarah Schrock, from having direct contact with them.

Schrock was arrested two days later for breaking the order, but she quickly returned home and spent some time alone in the house the next day. The roommate had gone out (I wonder why) and returned with two other people. They were apparently thirsty and poured out some glasses of milk to have with dinner.

From The Washington Post, which first noted this horrifying story:

One of the roommates drank some of the milk, and immediately began to gag. The roommate coughed up a substance that seemed to be human skin. The other roommate drank the milk as well, and likewise started gagging and coughed up skin.

The third person decided not to drink that third glass of milk.

The three poured the remaining milk in a strainer. They were left with something that looked like the skin shavings that Schrock kept in trays in her bedroom, the product of scraping the bottoms of her feet.

And now they will never drink milk again.
