Mum's warning after son comes home from playing at school with horrific burns - and may now need plastic surgery
A mum has issued a warning to parents across the UK after her son was left with burns on his face from a dangerous plant. Kimberley Walker believes her son came into contact with a Giant Hogweed plant outside his school in Staffordshire, when he was allowed to go and retrieve a football from outside the school grounds.
"I took him to A&E and they said he'd got a nettle sting. But I didn't understand how he could burn his hand from a nettle. Kimberley took her son to see his GP where he had a 45 minute consultation. She then received a phone call that evening telling her to take him to the Royal Stoke as the Giant Hogweed burns 'can scar and cause blindness'.
"We've now got to wait until we see the plastic surgeon this week. They don't know whether he'll be permanently scarred. He's got to keep the burns covered up when he's outside as they're photo-sensitive and can keep developing." "I was also upset because his hand is one thing, and it's still scarred seven weeks later, but the other burns are on his face. They are a different ball game and we don't know if he'll be scarred or for how long. I'm trying to raise awareness because nobody seems to know what it is."
