British woman survives 5 days in the jungle eating peanuts

A British woman has survived five days lost in a Mexican jungle eating peanuts and raw fish. Rachel Bradley was on a boat trip when things went horribly wrong for her group after hitting lighting quick rapids and waterfalls. She had only two bags of peanuts to keep the group going.

Rachel said: 鈥淭here were four of us, and the first day we had peanut M&Ms and the second day caramelised peanuts 鈥 we had about 5 per sitting, although sometimes I鈥檇 split mine into a 3 and a 2.鈥

The group also managed to catch some fish to complement their peanut-based diet.

鈥淏y the third day we realised we would need some food, and some guys in the team managed to use the mosquito net to catch some small fish. They cut off the heads to try them and then swallowed them whole,鈥 added the jungle survivor.
