Couple sue over holiday sickness

A young couple who suffered illness while on a trip abroad are taking legal action against the holiday company they booked the vacation with.

The pair were on an all-inclusive holiday to Mexico when they were struck down with food poisoning.

So severe was the case that the 23-year-old had to be treated in hospital and was hooked up to emergency machines for four days.

The female alleged that the hygiene standards in the hotel in Cancun - which is located on the south-east coast of the country in the state of Quintana Roo - were poor.

She said: "I was in hospital for days and didn't know what was happening. It's a frightening experience being in a different country and having hallucinations because you are so ill." A compensation claim may be filed.

Now she is launching legal action against a travel firm. A spokesperson for the company said that a full investigation into the case is ongoing and they will continue to discuss the complaint with the couple's injury lawyer.
