Yikes! A woman in South Carolina had her hand amputated after a scary mishap with a blow dryer! Mary Wilson told WCIV on Wednesday that back on February 7, she was in her bathroom attempting to blow dry her hair when she passed out (after likely being shocked by the device), only to wake up on the floor with severe injuries!

She explained: She was on the ground for about 20 minutes with the dryer “blowing out hot air” on her limb before her partner found her and discovered something was seriously wrong!

She recalled: Jeez! Mary is now telling her story in hopes blow dryer manufacturers will implement more safety measures (such as an automatic shutoff function) to make sure nothing like this ever happens again, noting: Now in recovery, Mary is learning to adjust to her new life, which has been difficult because it is harder and/or slower to do “simple things” and daily tasks.

She’s not even sure she’ll ever get to go back to her work as a dog groomer. Oof. Trying to keep a positive outlet, she concluded: Wow!
