UK toddler, 3, fighting for life after catching E. coli on holiday

Martin Coulter of the  Star reports that Harper Davis, 3, has been taking to intensive care and put on dialysis at Nottingham Children’s Hospital.

The youngster was described as being a “normal, healthy girl” before she picked up the lethal bug.

Harper is understood to have suffered acute kidney failure, seizures, peritonitis and developed diabetes as a result of her illness.

My 3 grandsons are pictured below, from a Canadian Thanksgiving feast put on by daughter Jaucelynn, on Monday.

My kids all know food safety, but sometimes knowing is never enough.
