Face Peel-Don't Do it-From Hot To Hideous



Face Peel-Don't Do it-From Hot To Hideous
She didn't look too bad before!
THESE shocking pictures show how pretty Holly Nuttall’s dream of a silky- smooth complexion turned to a nightmare when a skin peel left her face grotesquely swollen and scarred.

Terrified Holly, 30, suffered a horrific reaction to the chemical peel.

She ended up in hospital, in excruciating pain and fighting to breathe as, bit by bit, her airways contracted. Her face was so swollen that puss oozed from her hairline. “I was sitting in hospital wondering if my face would ever stop swelling,” said Holly, a charity worker from Plymouth.


“It just kept getting bigger and bigger and my windpipe got narrower because of all the swelling. I began to have difficulty breathing. It was terrifying and all because I wanted my skin to look a little better.”

It looks like I’ve had chicken pox,” she said. “I was outside for a few hours and when I got home it was really painful. Doctors also told me I now have a heightened risk of skin cancer.”


Holly, whose interview can be seen on video here, is suing the clinic, claiming it failed to do a skin test.


She said: “Women should be aware of the awful consequences if things go wrong.”

This Sucks - Artificial butter chemical harmful to lungs


I hope this isn't true! What is left to eat that doesn't kill us?

Artificial butter chemical harmful to lungs

A new study shows that exposure to a chemical called diacetyl, a component of artificial butter flavoring, can be harmful to the nose and airways of mice. Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, conducted the study because diacetyl has been implicated in causing obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) in humans. OB is a debilitating but rare lung disease, which has been detected recently in workers who inhale significant concentrations of the flavoring in microwave popcorn packaging plants.

When laboratory mice inhaled diacetyl vapors for three months, they developed lymphocytic bronchiolitis - a potential precursor of OB. None of the mice, however, were diagnosed with OB.

This is one of the first studies to evaluate the respiratory toxicity of diacetyl at levels relevant to human health. Mice were exposed to diacetyl at concentrations and durations comparable to what may be inhaled at some microwave popcorn packaging plants, said Daniel L. Morgan, Ph.D., head of the Respiratory Toxicology Group at the NIEHS and co-author on the paper that appears online in the journal, Toxicological Sciences. The study was done in collaboration with Duke University researchers.

The authors conclude that these findings suggest that workplace exposure to diacetyl contributes to the development of OB in humans, but more studies are needed.........
