Breaking News:

Simpson Millar Solicitors have been instructed by holidaymakers who were struck down by debilitating bouts of diarrhoea - extreme stomach gripes - headaches and flu-like symptoms whilst staying at the Melia Las Dunas in Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba

The symptoms described by holidaymakers are often attributed to food poisoning and/or unhygienic conditions.

One of our Client's describes how she is still suffering from a severe bout of Salmonellosis, the medical term for the illness caused by salmonella food poisoning. It is understood that a large number of UK travellers staying at the Melia Las Dunas were similarly effected with the bug.

Salmonella is a common holiday bug often contracted by consuming contaminated food, particularly raw and undercooked chicken, prawns or eggs. Initial observations provided by our clients suggest that the chefs at the Hotel used the same implements to handle, cook and serve chicken resulting in cross contamination and poisoning.

This notorious holiday bug is removed by cooking food in a hygienic way and serving at a sufficient temperature.
