The mother-of-two has experienced terrifying symptoms like blistering, bruising and severe nausea.
mother-of-two has a warning for parents visiting petting zoos after she contracted a rare disease.
Blistering under the eyes, burning fingertips, and a body which turned blue with bruising were just some of the terrifying symptoms that Jade has experienced after a day out.“I had given this goat a pat while my kids were running around,” Strang told 7NEWS.com.au. “I was so tired. I put it down to the fact that I was on the computer and that’s the job I hated doing,” Strang said. “I missed my alarm the next morning, and that’s when I started to feel really, really ill.
Jade Strang, 29, was hospitalised with painful symptoms of Q fever, which she believes she contracted at a petting zoo.Despite a lack of awareness among many of the medical staff treating Strang, workplaces across Australia’s animal industries — from agriculture to abattoirs — offer Q fever vaccinations to their employees.
Some days she feels fine, and other days she is completely immobile, requiring her family to help her to shower and dress — she hasn’t had a single day where her symptoms match those of the day before. “About 10 per cent of patients who are sick with acute Q fever go on to suffer from a chronic-fatigue-like illness which can be very debilitating for years,” NSW Health reports.
