Earlier this week, one family's Monday night dinner ended in a bizzare manner.

Shortly after having a steak purchased at a local Walmart, 24-year-old Ronnie Morales felt ill, according to multiple reports. He called 911 but was soon driven to the hospital by his pregnant girlfriend, Jessica Rosado. While at the hospital, Rosado and her two young children also started feeling ill. Roasado even went into labor while at the hospital and was able to give birth to a healthy baby boy.

It turns out the illness the family experienced was the result of consuming meat that was contaminated with the drug LSD, which primarily causes hallucinations as one of its symptoms and side effects. The four family members who were admitted to the hosptial left without any further complications. The mother and her newborn son were released one day after the other three, according to multiple reports.

Since the incident, the Walmart has removed meat products from its shelves, in addition to turning them over to authorities on multiple levels for testing. The store is fully cooperating with the investigation, according to reports.
