From the article
“Last April, an online influencer from Brazil nearly required amputation after taking part in an ill-advised viral trend for her two million followers.
‘Thammy MC’ was left unable to walk after standing in a bucket of ice and salt for an online ‘dare’ that turned her feet black and nearly required the amputation of her toes.
‘We spent 15 minutes with our feet on the ice with coarse salt,’ she said, recounting the horror.
‘When I took my foot out I never felt such pain in my life. Three of my toes had turned black when it came out of the ice bucket.’
Thammy was treated at a clinic where she was told she was at risk of thrombosis, and that she could have developed necrosis had she remained in the ice another minute.
Unable to put any pressure on her feet, she said she now gets around the house by being dragged around in a garden chair by her mother, who pushes her from room to room.”
At least she won the dare.
When we made home made ice cream we put salt on the ice to make everything freeze faster. It worked!
No wonder she froze her feet doing the same thing.
