There really is nothing worse than being sick on holidays.
And to vouch for vacation illness being an utterly horrible experience is Home and Away star, Tim Franklin.
WATCH: Home and Away star Tim Franklin hilariously shares allergic reaction
The good residents of Summer Bay are currently taking a mini break from our screens to holiday around the globe.
Like good friend and co-star Patrick O’Connor (Dean Thomspon), Tim Franklin – who plays cop Colby Thorne – decided Japan would be his destination of choice for the winter holiday.
Unfortunately for Tim, he suffered a mysterious allergic reaction while on his solitary trip to Tokyo.
Showcasing his swollen face on Instagram, Tim joked how any traveller should have “at least one allergic reaction while you’re on holidays.”
Tim jovially continued in the Instagram video story: “It’s always jolly to know what you’re allergic too, it’s what travellings about!
“Now my eyes look like gills”, Tim said, before pointing at his puffed-up face.
Tim – who remains clueless as to what set off the intense allergic reaction – decided to guess at what Jaoanese cuisine could have been the source of his troubles.
“It could have been eating my body weight in ramen, to having to much fun?
“Or maybe it’s just becsuse I’m allergic to being alone!”
Whatever it is, we wish Tim a speedy recovery!
