A dad has spoken of his shock after his seven-year-old son went into anaphylactic shock on holiday after eating a plate of chips.
Caleb was staying at Haven Holiday Park in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, with his parents and sister, and immediately started to swell up when he ate the chips. The allergic reaction left him needing an immediate EpiPen injection and urgent medical treatment in hospital.
His father, Nathan Morrison, had already suffered a terrifying ordeal at the Premier Inn in Weston-super-Mare two nights prior, leaving him and his family forced to barricade themselves in their room. He explained upon arriving at the holiday park's restaurant, the family were told to scan a QR code and select a meal that was safe for his son, who has a shellfish and milk allergy.
