A British holidaymaker says she was left in a wheelchair by a bacterial infection she picked up from eating unpasteurised cheese in Greece.

Sam Philpott, 22, says the “significant amount” of cheese she consumed from unvaccinated goats while in Kos is responsible for her condition.

In 2013, weeks after travelling to the Greek island with her parents Ian, 52, and Tracey, 51, Miss Philpott fell ill. She suffered debilitating migraines, constant vomiting and nausea, fevers and shakes, crippling weakness, exhaustion, fatigue and “incapacitating pain”.

Her condition has deteriorated over three years and Miss Philpott, of Walsall, West Midlands, is now bedbound, in pain, and unable to walk.
