Mum forced to cut Spain holiday short and has to wear gloves 'all summer' after horrifying giant hogweed burns
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA mum has been forced to fly home early from her 'holiday from hell' after suffering horror burns on giant hogweed - leaving her needing to wear GLOVES whenever she leaves the house.
Lucy Jones was on holiday in Cadiz, Spain, with husband Max Jones, 31, and three-year-old daughter Lily Jones when she noticed a burning sensation on her right hand last month (May 23rd).
The stay-at-home says her skin then erupted in agonising blisters and looked as though her hand 'had been dipped in boiling water'.
Horrified, she rushed to a pharmacy where staff dressed it and gave her steroids for contact dermatitis. But the pain became so severe the family were forced to cut their holiday short by three days and fork out £300 for an earlier flight back to the UK.
