Amy May Shead is no longer able to move or speak after eating "just one mouthful of chicken"
On 12th April 2014, Amy May Shead set off for a trip to Budapest.
Severely allergic to nuts all her life, Amy carried her EpiPen with her and felt confident she could deal with an allergic reaction should it occur.
However, on the third day of her trip, Amy ate "just one mouthful of a chicken dish" in a restaurant which caused a severe anaphylactic reaction.
Amy went into cardiac arrest, and it took six minutes for the paramedics to revive her.
Amy was placed on life support in the Budapest hospital before being flown home.
