I thought I had a two-day hangover but it was actually MALARIA - I fought for my life in hospital after missing a common symptom
A TV star has revealed how he fought for his life in hospital after confusing malaria for a two-day hangover. Adventurer Aldo Kane has opened up on how he was rushed to hospital after missing a common symptom. He appeared on ITV 's Lorraine, speaking to the Scottish host about his brand new show The Wild Ones on Apple TV. Recalling the scary and life-threatening ordeal, which happened in 2024, Aldo explained he had been in Malaysia filming when he caught the disease. The former former Royal Marines Commando Sniper said: I've always been pretty careful about taking my meds, but for whatever reason...' Aldo, continued: 'I came back home from Malaysia, went to a wedding, woke up on the Saturday feeling a bit rough, Sunday I was thinking two-day hangover isn't right. Recalling the scary and life-threatening ordeal, which happened in 2024, Aldo explained he had been in Malaysia filming when he caught the disease 'By the weekend I was in hospital with malaria, pretty badly. Not bad odds, that's the first time in 30 years.' Malaria is caused by parasites through the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, as well as aches and chills before progressing to more serious illness including seizures and organ failure. At the time of his hospital stint, Aldo took to social media to share a snap of him in bed as he received treatment from the NHS. Looking severely unwell, he penned: 'Felt pretty ropey after wedding last week and put it down to lack of phys and too much fizz. 'The week got progressively worse, fever, muscle cramps, flue symptoms, banging head ache, aching abdomen, brain fog and dark wee. 'Straight to the ED at hospital where I've been since. Whisked through rapid and into days of testing for all sorts of tropical diseases. 'The infectious diseases team narrowed it down to Malaria, P. Falciparum, the most deadly of the parasites. Needless to say, I've been pretty broken since. At the time of his hospital stint, Aldo took to social media to share a snap of him in bed as he received treatment from the NHS 'My bad admin or incredibly great odds as I've been in and out of jungles for 27 years now and never got sick. I'll take those odds and pay the tax.' At the time, Aldo was flooded with support from fans, with one writing: 'Holy cr*p. Heal well. Scary stuff to be hit like that!!' While a second commented: 'I got Malaria as a kid in Solomon Island - still remember. So awful. Heal fast.' Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and ITVX. WHAT IS MALARIA? - Malaria is an infection of the liver and red blood cells caused by parasites - The parasites are spread through the bite of certain mosquitoes - Contracted in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, the Pacific Islands and parts of the Middle East - Approximately 500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in Australia each year - Almost all cases are in people who didn't take anti-malarial medications - Symptoms include sudden fever, chills, headache, sweating, nausea, vomiting and pain in joints and muscles - Can include seizures, confusion, kidney failure, breathing difficulty and coma

TV star mistook deadly disease for a hangover after SAS: Who Dares Wins wedding
'Jungle threat isn't always that you're getting chased by lions and big animals and spiders.' REAL-life action man Aldo Kane admits Mother Nature was the least of his concerns in his new TV show – as he faced the wrath of his wife if he missed the birth of their second child. The adventurer watched the delivery of son Atlas on WhatsApp while he was filming in waters off the Dominican Republic for Titanic director James Cameron's programme OceanXplorers in 2021. Advertisement 4 The frontman contracted malaria in the jungle 4 Aldo Kane made it to the birth of his second child But missus Anna made sure the former Royal Marine Commando, from Kilwinning, Ayrshire, made it home in time to meet their boy Auri last year - as he jetted back from Armenia in the nick of time. Aldo, 46, said: 'Anna was like, 'You better get back in time for this one' after I missed Atlas being born four years ago. 'I got back from Armenia and the next day she gave birth. I think I'd been back 12 hours. 'I was at home for 12 days and then we bounced out to Mongolia for filming so it's been a full-on year. Advertisement 'So I got back three weeks late for Atlas and I got back one night before for Auri. So I have a 50/50 hit rate at the minute, which is pretty good.' He adds: 'Now we're just trying to recollect our thoughts and get our head around being a family of four. 'I guess everyone only sees the side on social media where you're adventuring and filming. 'But it takes its toll a little bit. You've got to come back and spend quality time with the family, reconnecting.' Advertisement Ex-sniper Aldo is fronting new series for Apple TV+ The Wild Ones as he joins wildlife and camera trap expert Declan Burley, and ecological storyteller and cinematographer Vianet Djenguet. The trio embark on high-stakes expeditions to track and protect the planet's most endangered species. Aldo Kane says 'I'm no hot explorer' ahead of big-budget new OceanExplorers show They travelled to Malaysia, Mongolia, Armenia, Indonesia, Canada and Gabon to capture often first-ever footage of the Malayan tiger, Gobi bear, Caucasian leopard, Javan rhino, North Atlantic right whale and Western lowland gorilla. Aldo has previously been an expert consultant on journeys where he's found secret caves hidden behind the Mexican jungle and gone white-water rafting in Bhutan. Advertisement While he even found dead cubs in a freezer during his investigation into the disgusting tiger trafficking trade in South East Asia. But he's never been closer to losing his life than on The Wild Ones - as he contracted deadly malaria. The daredevil couldn't believe it when he was diagnosed with the illness even though he had managed to avoid it for 30 years working in jungles. Aldo started feeling unwell at the wedding of SAS: Who Dares Wins star Jason 'Foxy' Fox. He said: 'We'd been in the jungle for three weeks, got home, went to Foxy's wedding, and I started feeling rough. Advertisement 'I was thinking it was a pretty bad hangover. And then it just got worse. By the following weekend, I was so bad that I got admitted to hospital with a pretty gruesome malaria bug. 'Malaria is life-threatening. I was just very lucky that the they were on the ball and picked it up quickly. 'That's the thing with working in the jungle, the threat isn't always that you're getting chased by lions and big animals and spiders.' In his new series the crew used camera traps to track the endangered animals without getting too close. Advertisement And Aldo admits he got a real buzz when they sat down to review the footage and realised a tiger had followed the same route as them. He said: 'It's nice as I'm going to be able to sit down with Atlas and watch and he can engage in it. 'I hope the series makes other people aware of these animals, but also to help them take action, because sometimes conservation can seem too disconnected. 'But really, as you'll see in the series, the people and animals need as much help as they can get.' The Wild Ones airs globally from July 11 on AppleTV+ 4 Aldo with his two boys Advertisement
