Things You Didn't Know About Hitler That Will Blow Your Mind

A British holidaymaker says doctors had to fight hard to save her life after she came back to the UK from a four-star package holiday in Egypt with hepatitis, which she said was caused by the poor hygiene of the resort's staff.

Olivia Hartley says she nearly died after coming home from a £1,400 easyJet package holiday to Hurghada, in Egypt, last September.

The 28-year-old, who lives in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, was holidaying with her fiancé Thomas Winn, 31, at an all-inclusive four-star resort for a week when the pair began to feel unwell.

On the plane home, Olivia said her partner Thomas vomited 'six times' while she began experiencing sickness and diarrhea hours after returning home.

Unable to keep any food or water down for three days, Olivia was hospitalized with dehydration and told by doctors that her liver and kidney function was abnormal.

Doctors told Olivia that it was 'very likely' she was infected with Hepatitis A - a liver infection that is spread in the waste of an infected person.

Olivia is certain she caught the deadly virus from the hotel - claiming food hygiene at the resort, which the couple chose not to name, was 'terrible'.

Medics were so concerned that they warned Olivia that she may have to undergo a liver transplant if her condition does not improve.

Luckily, Ella Olivia made a recovery—but Ella is still suffering the effects of the liver and kidney injury, with concerns she may still need a transplant in the future.

Olivia, an assistant psychologist, said: 'The food hygiene at the hotel was terrible. There were birds everywhere, food lay stagnant for a long, long time, they just poured new food on top of old food that had been out for hours.

'On the last day, me and my fiance both had a bit of a funny tummy. On the plane home, my partner vomited about six times.

'I was fine at this point then [48 hours after coming home] I started with vomiting and diarrhea. Then I got to the point where I couldn't keep down any liquids whatsoever. I was just vomiting everything up. I had horrific abdominal pains.'
