A mother, Jessica Klick, warned others after her 11-year-old daughter Sienna suffered second-degree burns from nail glue. The incident happened while Sienna was at a friend’s house trying on fake nails. As she put on the fake nails, some of the nail glue fell on her cotton sock, said the mother, per the Independent.
In a TikTok video that garnered thousands of views, the shocked mother said,
“Apparently, nail glue reacts with cotton and wool and causes instantaneous heat. It caused a severe second-degree burn on my daughter’s foot.”
Later in the video, the mother shared a photo showing her daughter’s burned skin, which looked raw and damaged.
Fortunately, the friend’s mother acted swiftly by cutting off the sock and rinsing the burn until Klick arrived.
Klick used her video to raise awareness and stress the need to supervise kids using beauty products. She also aimed to talk about the possible chemical reactions between glue and fabrics such as cotton and wool.
Klick told PEOPLE that the incident caused harsh pain initially. Despite the majority of the burn being healed, one sensitive area still needs covering. Reports say the incident occurred over a mother ago.
“Many girls her age begin to experiment with these products, and most parents don’t realize that this chemical reaction can occur.. I’ve received positive feedback on my post, with many parents thanking me for spreading awareness and others sharing similar experiences,”
said Klick.
She continued,
“I want to let parents know that if they choose to allow their children to use fake nails, they should supervise closely to help prevent what happened to my daughter.”
