A mum has actually provided a caution after catching an usual home injury which triggered her skin to “melt off” prior to her eyes.
Rosalind Levine was appreciating her early morning favorite while resting on the sofa today. But instantly, the steaming mug slid from her hands tipping the steaming warm materials of the cup down her breast and right into her lap.
“I went to lift it up to my mouth and it just completely fell out of my hand, because I wasn’t at a table it went down my chest and into my lap,” the 45-year-old stated. “The pain was searing, it was horrendous. It was like having a flame held to you, the pain shot through me, it was really shocking.”
“I jumped up and tried to lean forward in the hope that the water would drop off me but of course it didn’t because my clothes were clinging to me,” she proceeded. “I was desperately trying to get them off while screaming in pain at the same time. As I took the thin tracksuit bottoms off I saw that the top layer of skin had melted away”.
‘Really terrifying’ challenge creates mum to collapse
Horrifying pictures reveal the agonising five-inch lengthy melt on her left upper leg mins after the beverage splashed onto her with sores and burns developing in the form of the sprinkles. After standing under a stream of cool water in the shower for 10 mins, the UK mum called a rescue, confessing she started to really feel pale.
“I made the water as cold as I possibly could I think because the burn was so hot I wasn’t even feeling it was cold water,” she stated. The whole challenge was “really scary”, she confessed– specifically because her three-year-old was upstairs resting.
“I thought ‘I’ve only dropped a tea down myself, what the hell is happening?’ At this point I collapsed onto the floor, I was still conscious, and poured cold water over my leg.
“About 20 mins later on the paramedic came, took my high blood pressure, checked me, provided me some plasters and stated I’d be alright,” she continued. “My breast is extremely red, however the skin really did not dissolve due to the fact that I was resting upright and it merged in my lap.”
Burns from hot beverages most common in Australia
The concerned mum is now urging others to be careful and only drink hot drinks at a table. In Australia, burns at home make up 79 per cent of severe burns to children, according to Kidsafe — and most are from hot beverages.
“I’ve drunk thousands of cups of tea before, I couldn’t tell you why or how that happened. My advice would be if you’re having a really hot drink, sit at the table with it then if you do drop it, it mostly goes onto the table and not into your lap,” she said.
Previously, Queensland mum Renee Steepe detailed a similar incident at home whereby a piercing, blood-curdling scream alerted her to her toddler’s painful injury.
Young Amarnie attempted to drag a hot cup of tea to her mouth when she poured it down herself instead. The incident left her in hospital with full-thickness, which is equivalent to third-degree, burns.
Meanwhile, Kidsafe responds to mum’s viral ‘life-saving’ advice for treating child’s burns at home.
