flag A woman suffered severe burns from a burst old hot water bottle used for period pain, urging caution on TikTok.

flag A 27-year-old woman in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, suffered severe burns when her six-year-old hot water bottle burst while she used it for period cramps, spilling boiling water over her lower abdomen, groin, and legs. flag She described the pain as "11/10" and spent 30 minutes under cold water before receiving medical treatment, including blister drainage and removal of dead skin, with possible need for a skin graft. flag The incident prompted her to warn others on TikTok about the risks of using outdated hot water bottles, as the NHS advises replacing them every two years and using warm tap water instead of boiling water.
