A backpacker says she felt like she was “about to die” - after catching dengue fever in Thailand. Paisley Peach, 32, was backpacking around the southeast Asian country with her husband, Julian De Prince, 31, when she was bitten by a horde of mosquitoes. The couple came down with a high fever on the same night - but Paisley was rushed to the nearest hospital after collapsing in her bathroom. Now, she says she “regrets not wearing bug spray” - and has vowed to get vaccinated for the virus before travelling again.
