Corporal Anna Cross, a British Army nurse who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone, says her life was saved by strawberries.

Cross was the first person in the world to be treated with MIL 77, after choosing to do so following ‘careful consideration’.

But when asked what helped her pull through, she said: ‘Strawberries. I reckon I’ve had ten punnets.’

Cpl Cross joined the Army Reserves in 2013 as a staff nurse and volunteered to help care for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, arriving there last month.

But she was evacuated back to the UK in an RAF plane on March 12 after becoming the third Briton to test positive for the virus…

The 25-year-old said she cried when she found out she was free of the virus and attributed eating strawberries to help her through it.

    She’s delusional at best. Ebola Antibodies saved her and any other survivors: “MIL 77 is a close relative of the medicine ZMapp – the drug given to British nurse William Pooley when he too was treated for Ebola at the Royal Free.

    ZMapp is a blend of three laboratory-made antibodies designed to neutralise the virus.”

    I believe she’s saying strawberries helped her get through the psychological difficulties of dealing with such a deadly disease, not that they cured her.

      …or it may be the case that she is giving a tongue-in-cheek shout-out to her favorite treat, or ate so bleedin’ many while in hospital that she feels now she has turned into one, with THE STRENGTH OF TEN STRAWBERRIES! or any number of other sly joking refs.

      Of course, leave it to the Daily Mail to turn this into STRAWBERRIES SAVED MY LIFE! like we don’t have enough anti-vaxxers already (Alan should know better).

      Corporal Anna Cross also credits “her high levels of fitness for her speedy recovery” and further, is “grateful for the long career of David Attenborough, whose documentaries she has been watching while in hospital.”

      She’s also cute as a button, but, well, that’s just like my opinion, man.

    Makes better sense than that american doctor giving the glory of his recovery to some god.

    if she were an american I would assume her family had just bought some land to grow strawberries.
