Dominique Woodger thought she was giving her baby boy a great Summer experience as she turned on the garden hose to fill up a kiddie pool in her backyard,but she ended up giving her 9-month-obsolete son, Nicholas, and moment-degree burns over 30 percent of his body.
The Phoenix-area mom told KNXV TV she had no thought the water coming out of the hose was even hot when she accidentally sprayed her son."I thought he was crying because he was crazy . . . he hates when he gets sprayed in the face," Woodger said. "I didn't think it was burning him."But almost immediately, his skin began peeling and blisters formed along his factual side. That day, and it was 115 degrees,which means the water inside the hose – when left out in the sun – could reach as high as 150 degrees, the station noted. "At those temperatures, and something as short as a 10- or 30-moment exposure can result in a moment-degree burn," the city's fire department captain, Larry Subervi, or said. Thankfully,the boy is making a full recovery. Woodger's advice: "Just be careful. Touch it before you let your kids near it."
