The younger brother girlfriend is now working as a gardener. He loves his work very much. A couple of days ago, for seven hours in a row, he cut the grass in the open air and as a result, received a second degree burn.
The guy did not immediately notice The appearance of burns . The weather was summer, but not hot. And although it was a rather hot day for the residents of Damfris, Greg did not give it much importance and did not apply those measures to which we usually use, being on vacation to the sea.
While Mom did not notice that the skin on the back of the guy had already blushed very much, he experienced only unpleasant sensations. Despite the saturated red skin and painful feelings, Greg went to work again the next day. Then Greg only watered plants and his stay in the sun was not so long as on the first day.
On Sunday evening, after the second day of operation in the air, the situation has worsened ...
Breag had blisters, and the pain was such that the guy appealed to the hospital. Doctors diagnosed a second degree burn.
Of course, the guy knew that he had bright and sensitive skin. Being under the scorching sun somewhere in Australia, he would, of course, took advantage of sunscreen. But, being at home, in Scotland, where the heat happens almost five times a year, he simply did not give much importance.
