Ouch! It’s blisteringly hot outside
A GARDENER suffered second-degree burns after working outside for seven hours without applying sun cream.
Greg Binnie didn’t notice how strong the sun was as he cut grass and watered plants over the weekend.
The 20-year-old, from Edinburgh, realised the extent of the damage only when his shoulders started blistering. He said: ‘The areas worstaffected are my neck and shoulders and as I am incredibly fair-skinned I do find myself quite sensitive to the sun.
‘My mum and dad couldn’t believe how it had turned out.’
He said he had been treating the burns with Sudocrem and Aloe Vera spray – as well as natural yoghurt.
