A bird lover has been struck down by a rare disease caused by a pet budgerigar she kept 35 years ago. Carole Dawson, 58, is hooked up to an oxygen cylinder 24 hours a day to keep her alive. Her lungs are so weak that she cannot walk unaided for more than a few steps without gasping for breath and feeling lightheaded. She is virtually unable to leave the house alone, and has had to leave her job as a shoe shop assistant.
