“Thank you for the messages, they have encouraged me a lot and many have made me laugh. It is much appreciated x”

While another questioned what could have caused Fletcher’s anaphylactic shock.

“OMG! What could have happened here then 🤔. Maybe he swallowed a wandering peanut in his sleep. Or maybe a rogue superbee has survived the winter under his duvet,” they said.

My God! What could have happened here then?

Maybe he swallowed a wandering peanut in his sleep.

Or maybe a wayward superbee has survived the winter under your duvet.
