- You have a bubble run - what to do?
A 12-year-old boy almost died from the effects of an inflamed bladder. So you escape the danger!
Bye bye summer, hello bubble . As soon as the days get shorter and the temperatures lower, we force ourselves back into closed shoes. The first days: a torment. Everywhere it scrubs and rubs. Bubbles are more dangerous than you think.
'That's just a small bubble' - maybe small already, not harmless. A 12-year-old boy barely escaped death! Blame was a blister on the foot, writes the Daily Mail.
In April, 12-year-old Macenzie had a bladder in shoes without socks. A short time later it burst and ignited. The result: a toxic shock.
No chance of survival
His mother first suspects an inflamed wart behind the bladder. She treated them accordingly, they say. As the foot swells abruptly and the boy gets high fever and a rash all over his body, she brings her son to the hospital. The doctors barely give him a chance. His organs fail, his body turns black. Then the unbelievable: Macenzie survives!
"It looked like an ordinary bubble"
" It was terrible. Not only was I worried about myself but also about my family. It looked like an ordinary bubble , but I felt worse and worse and worse. I felt sick, everything blurred and my heart was racing. I did not know what happened to me, "says the student of the newspaper.
The doctors operate the boy, remove the inflamed tissue and save his life.
You have a bubble run - what to do?
Never open a bubble! It could become infected with germs and ignite. Protect the bladder with a plaster . This prevents the ingress of dirt and bacteria and minimizes friction between the shoe and stocking. Special blast patches cushion the sensitive area and promote wound healing. Important! Stick the patch until it comes off by itself.
