A mom was pressured to chop again her trip in southern Spain final month after struggling horrific burns from big hogweed. Lucy Jones, 29, was on vacation in Cadiz with husband Max, 31, and three-year-old daughter Lily Jones when she noticed a burning sensation on her proper hand on May 23.

Mrs Jones stated that her pores and skin erupted in agonising blisters as if her hand "had been dipped in boiling water".

Worried over the scenario, she instantly rushed to a close-by pharmacy the place the employees coated her hand with a dressing and recommended steroids for dermatitis.

However, even after the steroids her ache turned so extreme that the household was pressured to shorten their vacation by three days and fork out £300 for earlier flights again to the UK.

She went to Maidstone A&E in Kent, the place medics have been initially baffled about the reason for the blistering burns.

Mrs Jones was then referred to the burns unit the place a physician who had seen the signs earlier than stated she should have come into contact with the poisonous hogweed plant.

At the burns unit, Mrs Jones had the tops of her blisters scraped off and her hand dressed - a process she described as “painful and traumatising”.

Mrs Jones, from Maidstone, Kent, informed MailOnline: “I woke up and my hand was red and sore and it looked like a sunburn.

“I went to a pharmacy because it was getting worse, it was a really horrible burning feeling.

“Over the next 24 hours it got worse. It was blistering, really swollen and I could barely move my fingers.

“It was so painful. We decided to catch a last-minute flight home and went straight to the hospital from the airport.

“They had no clue what it was, no one in A&E had seen it before. They treated it as a burn, they took all the blisters off and removed a lot of skin.

“It was painful and traumatising.

“It was as if my hand had been put in boiling hot water, blisters everywhere, and some red patches started appearing on my left hand.

“I went back to A&E for a couple of days to get it dressed. I went to the burns unit and the consultant said he knew what it was because he'd seen it before.

“It completely ruined the holiday. We'd been looking forward to it for ages. My daughter was loving being out there and going in the pool.”

As a subsequent plan of action, Mrs Jones should apply sunscreen 3 times a day and put on SPF gloves to guard her scorched pores and skin from the solar, as soon as the burns have utterly healed.

She nonetheless wonders if she brushed in opposition to the plant within the UK or in Spain, nonetheless, she suspects she could have inadvertently touched it close to her house as her space is thought for having a “hogweed problem”.

She added: “People normally get it on their legs because they walk through it. I'm not sure where I touched the plant, in Spain or the UK.

“I can't recall walking through woodland. I was extremely surprised I hadn't heard of it. Since returning, my friend said that our area has a bit of a problem with it. It wouldn't surprise me if I touched it here without knowing then I reacted in Spain.”

Touching hogweed causes extreme burns and blistering on the pores and skin that lasts for a number of months. The plant can develop to 10 ft in top and chemical compounds in its sap could cause photosensitivity.
