A mum bitten by a tick while on a family picnic has been left with a "horrific" illness. Olivera Marshall developed Lyme disease following a bite three years ago and says she "can't get better".
Olivera's ordeal unfolded when she and her husband Richard took their children Helena and Lukas for a picnic in June 2020. The family were in good spirits, happy to be out of the house during Covid and all were fit and healthy, including Olivera.
Enjoying the summer sun, Olivera lay down beside a nearby river and asked her husband to take a photo of her. At this moment her life changed forever.
