Investigators are attempting to take DNA from a human finger after a woman bit into it while eating a bowl of chili at a California Wendy's restaurant, according to a Local 6 News report.
Health authorities in California confirmed that a woman bit into the finger and nearly swallowed it while eating in San Jose Tuesday night. The discovery was also confirmed not to be a hoax.

'Initially she did put this object in her mouth and did bite down on it," Santa Clara County Health Department spokesman Ben Gale said. "Initially she was a bit grossed out and vomited a number of times at the unpleasant experience of having a finger in her mouth."
Thursday, the medical examiners released a photo of the mangled finger and a long fingernail.
Officials were not sure if the finger came into the restaurant in the beans, beef or vegetables. Officials hope DNA and other evidence from the finger can explain where it came from.
The finger was cooked in the chili in temperatures of 170 degrees before the woman put it in her mouth.
