A former fireman who caught a rare disease and was left struggling to walk following a trip to Cyprus is suing his travel operator.
Charles Jackson suffered from diarrhoea and fatigue during the getaway with his wife Julie to the Mediterranean island and believed he just had a “24-hour bug”.
But after he returned, the 69-year-old started feeling “pins and needles” in his legs and feet before he later collapsed and needed ten weeks' hospital care.
