A woman from Canada who stayed at the Bahia Principe resort in the Dominican Republic in 2016, is among the latest of several people to have stepped forward with allegations of being poisoned while on vacation in the Caribbean nation.

Tina Hammell told CNN that she and her husband were taking a nap in their room at the Punta Cana resort when a strong chemical odor and stinging sensation in her throat and nose suddenly woke her up.
