A woman has been left vomiting and suffering from a nasty rash after she drank 'mouldy' bottled water.
Zara Ward bought the 750ml bottle of Pump water last month at a cafe in Eight Mile Plains, Queensland.
She claims she had to take two days off work because she started vomiting, suffered from cramping, had diarrhoea and a rash broke out across her body.

Ms Ward claims to have drunk more than half the bottle before she noticed a clump of mould floating in the water.
'I'm extremely disgusted and upset that this happened and cannot trust purchasing bottled drinks now,' she said to 9News.
'People need to be aware that they need to be careful when drinking from your bottled water.'
She said she sent the bottle of Pump water back to the local distributor, Coca-Cola Amatil.

A spokesperson from Coca-Cola Amatil told 9News they were aware of Ms Ward's situation and had spoken to her directly.
'This problem came about because of a one-off charge to the bottle cleaning process on a production line,' a spokesperson for Coca-Cola Amatil said.
'We've had the material independently tests, and it is not considered to be a food safety concern.'
The spokesperson said the rest of the batch of bottled water which Ms Ward's came from has been withdrawn from sale and should not be available in stores.
