Dragons' Den star and millionaire Duncan Bannatyne has revealed he was left 'fighting for his life' after being bitten by a dragonfly while on holiday in Mexico
BBC Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne experienced a life-threatening situation after being stung by a dragonfly while on holiday in Mexico last month, he has said. The millionaire entrepreneur went into anaphylactic shock following the sting, which initially presented as a severe infection in his hand.
"He injected me into my hip. I was lying on my back, my wife was there, he was there, they were chatting. And I had this dryness come in my oesophagus, my throat, I was like 'it's so dry' I couldn't speak. My heart started going bum, bum, bum, and I'm going arrrrgh.""Luckily the doctor hadn't left the room and saw me and he knew what had happened. I'd had an anaphylactic shock. I was already thinking about but that made me more keen on it .
"At some time in your life someone who is very old will say 'listen when I die I want you to do this..' and you say 'don't talk about dying' and 'mum don't tell me that' but now I want to do it! I want to put the plans in place."
