Brit seeks damages - after contracting Cholera on holiday

One British holidaymaker was stunned to learn that he had contracted Cholera while on a package holiday to Tunisia last September. He had been ill throughout the 12-day £1,488 trip booked through Thomas Cook, and when he returned to the UK he sought medical help. That's when a doctor diagnosed Cholera.

It's one of the more unexpected illnesses to catch on a package holiday. However, with more than 3,500 people falling seriously ill on holiday each year, it's worth knowing what you would need to do if you were struck down by illness on a trip.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
