Where do you think the worst poison or bacteria-infecting insects lurk, the UK or abroad?

Most of you will instantly say abroad...believing that in the UK we are safe from the most horrible insects likely to do us real harm. After all, we don’t have scorpions, the deadliest snakes or malaria-infecting mosquitoes. Yes, we do have wasps, bees, gnats, some poisonous spiders and also horse flies, but unless you are highly allergic to something nasty, you’re generally as safe as houses in the UK.

Or are you? Well, I think not. A fortnight ago I cooked breakfast and washed up for the two of us (yes, I am a real man!!) and had a shower. As I stepped out, I felt terribly shivery and cold. I couldn’t believe how ill I felt. Had I caught Covid? I thought.

I told my wife I felt so ill I had to go to bed –which is so unlike me because, touch wood, I am never ill.

I went to sleep and after about an hour I woke up and the shivering had gone. I thought, whatever it was, it wasn’t Covid. I got up and then it hit me. The pain in my right leg was so intense I could hardly cope with it. I had never experienced pain like it before. On the Richter scale it was nine out of 10!

I went back to bed and thought, let’s hope the pain goes as quickly as the shivering. After about an hour I woke again and the pain was just as bad, it was obvious I had to get to hospital.

Luckily, with care, I was still able to drive, so I took myself to A&E where I had umpteen tests, and, from the attitude of the consultant, he was concerned.

I was put on an antibiotic drip and finally was discharged about 11pm. I had to return to A&E for the following 10 days for a drip every day.

During that time my thigh, calf, ankle and foot swelled up to elephant proportions. The pain gradually subsided and that made it easier to walk.

Every day I would see the consultant who showed me my stats, from the time I arrived in A&E to date and, in particular, he showed me my white blood cell count, which should be around 7 but was 27. He said he had no idea what bit me, but whatever it was the bite was probably around my inside knee, and the poison travelled up to my thigh and down to my calf and foot. He said it was
