pickle lemonade, pickle cannoli, spicy pickle pizza—at Picklesburgh, an annual themed festival held in July in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After the festival, the 28-year-old noticed that one of her eyes appeared swollen. She initially downplayed it as a stye, something she often experiences, and carried on with her day, going on a 2-mile (3 km) walk with her boyfriend.
I’m a huge pickle lover, and I’ve been looking forward to Picklesburgh for years because I couldn’t attend in the past,” she explained.
“I was planning to make a video about the event because I love pickles, but the whole situation took a turn when I ended up in the hospital.”
