Christmas market E.coli leaves teen fighting for life
Daily Express
|December 29, 2023
A TEENAGER struck down by E.coli after visiting a Christmas market is "lucky to be alive".
Antonia Hay spent two weeks in intensive care with Shiga toxin-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (STEC-HUS).
She has had multiple operations, including having part of her bowel removed.
It is thought she may have contracted the bug at a festive fair held in Great Missenden, Bucks.
Older sister Jemima said Antonia, 17, was "lucky to be alive" and called the situation "an absolute nightmare".
She wrote on GoFundMe: "[Antonia] has continued to show amazing determination and strength throughout this time. She is the youngest person to ever be admitted into the ICU ward.
"She is the most kind, caring, outgoing person and lights up any room she walks into.
