💨 Abstract

'A mother, Emma Hickey, fainted from severe mosquito bites and fell down a staircase in Tenerife, suffering a brain bleed and neck fractures. She is now in an induced coma. Her partner, Stephen Brougham, described the ordeal as a "living nightmare" and urged the importance of travel insurance and awareness of mosquito bite risks. The family faces significant medical and hotel costs. Emma's condition is critical, with an uncertain recovery timeline.'
