A student claims her mum saved her life after she spotted symptoms of a deadly disease .
Alice Jenkins, 19, initially thought she had covid when she woke up on May 18 with aching limbs and a temperature. The University of Edinburgh student tried to sleep off her illness, but woke up from a nap dripping with sweat and had a rash.
Alice attributed her muscle pain to falling over playing netball a few days before, but her mum, Sarah, was concerned when she described her symptoms during a FaceTime call. The 58-year-old urged her daughter to do a "tumbler test" and press a glass against the rash to see if it disappeared.
