Bob Toulson-Burke's family had never heard of dengue fever before the 21-year-old caught the illness and died in Thailand. As doctors warn the UK could see outbreaks, his mother urges travellers to be aware of the symptoms.
Sorting through his medical notes at home in Stockport for anything that might help the doctors, Mrs Toulson-Burke found the leaflets Bob was given when he got his travel vaccinations.
"He's 21, he's a young traveller, he's never going to think of that," Mrs Toulson-Burke said."They think they're invincible." "The majority of times they really took it on board to take a card from me and I'd say please stay safe, these are the symptoms. And then others would just say, 'It won't happen to me'."
