A woman from Perth, Australia may lose her thumb after suffering a frightening bacterial illness following a manicure.
Sue, aged 48, has experienced excruciating agony in her thumb for the past two years due to a staph infection she contracted while receiving a manicure at a Perth beauty salon.
She claims that the technician mistaken her natural nails for acrylics and began filing them before bathing them with acetone.
A woman from Australia claimed she would lose her thumb after acquiring an infection during a manicure.
“I did inform them that they were my real nails, but they continued to file them down,” she told Nine News.
The 48-year-old woman stayed in the hospital for five days after learning that a portion of her thumb bone would need to be removed.
She reports that she continues to experience throbbing and searing pain in her thumb.
She told Nine News, “It truly throbs and you can’t get away from it.”
The 48-year-old was hospitalized for five days after it was discovered that a portion of her thumb bone would need to be removed.
Now, she has decided to sue the manicure salon for failing to adhere to “hygiene standards.”
“You wouldn’t enter a filthy dentist’s office, so why would you enter a filthy nail salon?” she asked.
