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.

Paisley, a burlesque performer and events producer from Boulder, Colorado, said: “I’ve never been hospitalised in my life - but with dengue, I thought I was about to die.
