The fame of many influencers on the internet is rife with challenges to prove one’s physicality and durability in extreme conditions. But sometimes it could turn into something which might risk their health. Something like this happened with a Brazilian influencer, who almost lost her toes due to an ice challenge.
A Brazilian reality TV personality, popularly known as MC Thammy, was left with first and second-degree burns after filming a viral challenge with friends for her 2 million followers. The incident occurred earlier this month on April 6. Thammy recounted the horrifying experience, revealing they spent fifteen minutes with their feet on ice mixed with coarse salt. She said, “When I took my foot out, I never felt such pain in my life. Three of my toes had turned black when it came out of the ice bucket.”
After her treatment at a clinic, she was told that she was at risk of developing thrombosis, and if she had stayed on ice for a little longer, she would have suffered necrosis. Since she cannot put pressure on her feet, she moves around the house with the help of a plastic garden chair, pushed by her mother. She added, “Wheelchairs are for the weak. We simply have just chairs.”
Talking about the state of her foot she said it started to swell so she had to visit a hospital, where she was informed on the conditions she could have faced. Thammy revealed, “I had first-degree burns on the outside and second-degree burns on the inside of both feet.”
MC Thammy praised her mother for taking care of her, saying she loves her and wants to be like her. She continued, “I don’t know how you can be such a good person and I also don’t understand why so many things happen with us.”
