Girl, ten, is left in agony with third-degree burns after picking up giant hogweed while playing on a riverbank
A 10-year-old girl was left with excruciating third degree burns after picking up a giant hogweed while she was fishing with her father.
Lauren Fuller was building a den by a riverbank in Loch Lomond during a family holiday when she plucked the weed out of the ground.
Within days the schoolgirl's hands were covered in giant blisters while red burns appeared on her face. She may now need skin grafts to repair the damage.
Lauren's parents, Russell and Charlotte Fuller from Thornbury, Bristol, were unsure what had caused the burns when she returned from a fishing excursion with her father.
After researching her symptoms online they realised she had been struck by the weed.
'She was absolutely fine on the Sunday, she thought nothing of it. But on Monday her hands were red raw and by the Tuesday she had big blisters.
'It was really, really bad,' said Mr Fuller, a construction worker. After visiting a hospital near to where they were staying in Loch Lomond Lauren was transferred to Glasgow's New Southern General for specialist treatment.
'They put these little gloves on her to cover the blisters and when they took them off a couple of hours later her skin had completely melted,' Mr Fuller, 32, added.
'Lauren is a tough little cookie but she was crying a lot. She was in a lot of pain and she was really worried about what was going to happen to her hands.'
Mr Fuller and his wife have urged other parents to take caution when outdoors with their children to avoid anyone else suffering such severe burns.
'What happened to Lauren was terrifying and I would honestly really hate for any other parent to go through what Charlotte and I have gone through,' he said.
'We had to use Google to diagnose Lauren’s symptoms ourselves and the specialist said she hadn’t seen anything like it for 20 years.
Giant hogweed was originally brought to the UK from Central Asia in 1893 and now commonly grows on riverbanks and wasteland.
Its leaves, stems, roots, flowers and seeds contain toxic components which can be transferred by contact and make exposed skin extremely sensitive to sunlight.
If the plant’s sap is rubbed into the eyes, it can cause temporary or permanent blindness.
The NHS advises those who come in contact with the plant to cover the affected area and wash it with soap and water.
Last week reports of other children suffering horrendous burns from the plant emerged.
Annie Challinor, seven, was left with a permanent scar after her arm blistered when it touched the plant on a family walk in Clifton Country Park, Salford, Greater Manchester and four teenage boys suffered agonising blistering after coming into contact with giant hogweed in Moses Gate Country Park, Bolton.
