Africa-Press – Cape verde. Almost 1,000 tourists struck down by a mysterious stomach bug are taking legal action against luxury hotels while staying on the West African island country of Cape Verde.
In total, 926 people have come forward over the last three years, claiming they all fell ill with the same stomach sickness — with many left hospitalized turning their luxury getaways into “holidays from hell”.
According to UK publication The Telegraph, infections such as Shigella and Salmonella were among some of the illnesses reported by holiday-makers with some unable to leave their room for several days.
One couple who came forward — Cordelia Plummer and Ian Waller from Birmingham and Kingston-Upon-Hull — were part of the a growing group seeking legal assistance following their two-week holiday in July.
