He went blind for a while -a week ago and now, Charlie Rowley faces another ailment.

Salisbury Novichok survivor Charlie Rowley cannot “move his arms or his legs” as he fights for
life in hospital for a second time, his brother has said.
'Charlie, 45, was rushed to A&E last week after falling ill and going “temporarily blind” at his home
in Amesbury, Wilts. He was admitted to the intensive care unit at Salisbury District Hospital, where
he and girlfriend Dawn Sturgess were treated for nerve agent poisoning.
Novichok, the Soviet-era chemical weapon used in the attempted assassination of former Russian
spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, has not been blamed for his illness, doctors have said.
However, his brother Matthew, 47, said his condition appears to be deteriorating after nurses told
him he could have deadly meningitis.
“I’ve just spoken to him on the phone,” Matthew told the Daily Mirror.
“He definitely sounds like he’s getting worse.
“He said he can’t move his arms or his legs and still has double vision.
“His speech is slurred, he’s feeling sick and struggling to eat. He’s in a really bad way.”
Charlie was fighting for life at the hospital alongside his girlfriend Dawn after being exposed to the lethal
nerve agent used in Skripal attack. He collapsed at his home on June 30 several hours after Dawn, leaving
them both in a critical condition.
Charlie recovered after spending more than a month in intensive care but 45-year-old partner Dawn sadly
died from poisoning. Detectives believe the deadly Novichok that struck Charlie down came from a discarded
perfume bottle he had given Dawn as a gift.
Charlie has spoke of his heartache over the tragic death of his girlfriend Dawn in “shocking” circumstances.
“It's amazing that I'm alive,” he said. “In a way I feel lucky I survived but I've also lost so much.”
Charlie and Dawn were poisoned almost four months after the Skripals fell unconscious on a park bench in Salisbury,
Wilts, on March 4. Sergei, a former Russian intelligence services agent, and Yulia were critical but eventually made a
full recovery after spending weeks in intensive care.
The US State Department explicitly blamed the nerve agent attack on the Skripals on Vladimir Putin's government.
Prime Minister Theresa May said Russia was “highly likely” behind the attack, basing her accusation on intelligence
and analysis of the poison –a nerve agent developed under the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s.
A blazing diplomatic row ensued between London and Moscow in the following weeks and months after the Scotland
Yard-led investigation attributed blame to Russia.
Russia has repeatedly denied any role in the attack, with Putin dismissing allegations of a Kremlin assassination
plot as “nonsense”...'
