Now I know what to do with a sunburn. The shocking story of an English gardener.
A friend of mine lives in Scotland. I met her at a design conference. More recently, in correspondence with her, I learned a shocking story that made me be very careful when I was under the scorching sun for a long time.
His younger brother is now a gardener. He loves his job very much. A couple of days ago, he cut open-air grass for seven hours straight and suffered a second-degree burn as a result.
The guy didn't notice right away. burnout. The weather was summer, but not hot. Although it was a rather hot day for Dumfries, Greg didn’t give much thought to it and didn’t apply the protections that we usually use when on vacation at sea.
Until my mother noticed that the skin on the back of the guy was already very red, he experienced only unpleasant sensations. Despite the intense red color of his skin and the pain, Greg returned to work the next day. Then Greg only watered the plants and his stay in the sun was not as long as the first day.
On Sunday evening, after a second day of work in the air, the situation worsened.
Greg had blisters, and the pain was such that the guy went to the hospital. Doctors diagnosed a second degree burn.
Of course, he knew he had light and sensitive skin. Under the scorching sun somewhere in Australia, he would certainly have used sunscreen. But when he was at home in Scotland, where the heat hits almost five times a year, he didn’t really care.
I was struck by this story. This is how inattention can harm your health!
