The host of The Robin, Terry and Bob show on 97.3FM fell ill earlier this month along with her three teenage sons, despite all four of them being double vaccinated.
The Brisbane based star says the boys, Fin, Lewin and Piper, suffered from ‘razor blade throats,’ chills and heat spikes, while she had ‘prickly skin that makes every touch feel painful’ and ‘a deep in your skull headache’ that nothing helped with.
