Traveler issues stark warning after two-hour tanning session leaves her with severe sun poisoning
A woman has issued a stark warning after she spent just two hours tanning and developed severe sun poisoning that left her bed bound for days. Shannon Armer, 25, from the UK, was on a five-day all-inclusive holiday in Portugal with her family. But what should have been a relaxing and fun trip soon became an agonizing experience after a short session laying in the sun left her in severe pain. On the first day, Shannon explained that she applied SPF 30 sunscreen and spent roughly two hours lounging by the pool. But the next morning she woke up in horrific pain and noticed her legs were extremely swollen and red. Thinking it was just a bad sunburn, she bought some cooling spray from a pharmacy and tried to go on with her day. However, the pain only worsened, eventually leaving her unable to walk and bed bound for the rest of the trip. 'It was so painful,' Shannon told Need to Know recently. 'I couldn't even walk. I didn't realize how bad it was until the next day. She was on a five-day all-inclusive holiday in Portugal with her family when she got a bad sunburn on her legs 'I'd only been laying in the sun for two hours and I was wearing SPF 30. The holiday was ruined because I was bed bound. 'I was just trying to get a tan but ended up burnt instead.' Upon returning home, Shannon's burns still hadn't healed so she decided to go to the hospital, where she learned she had sun poisoning. Doctors wrapped her burns in bandages and prescribed her antibiotics. 'Even the doctors were shocked,' she continued. 'They said they'd never seen a case like it.' Shannon had to wait until she got back to the UK to go to hospital because she didn't have travel insurance. And she issued a warning to others, saying, 'I didn't have insurance so I braved it until we got back to the UK. 'People should 100 percent get travel insurance as you never know what could go wrong on holiday. 'I didn't think anything like this would happen to me which is why I didn't get it.' According to WebMD, sun poisoning is 'a severe sunburn that seems similar to an allergic reaction.' 'It's a burn that doesn't just redden or darken your skin - it makes you feel sick and intensely uncomfortable,' it added. It can cause blistering or peeling skin, severe rash, severe pain, swelling, painful, gritty eyes, lip blisters, headache, fever and chills, nausea, and dizziness. In May, another woman went viral after she shared her horrific experience with sun poisoning. Ashlei Bianchi, 23, from New York, had spent the afternoon soaking up the sun with her family near a pool in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. But by the time she came inside, she realized that she had developed a slight redness on her face despite covering herself in sunscreen. By evening, her forehead and other parts of her face had begun to swell - which she later noted were the first signs of something sinister. However at the time, Ashlei believed that she was suffering from a mild sunburn and wiped her face with an aloe vera gel while continuing her trip. But things quickly went downhill when she woke up on the final morning of the holiday to find one of her eyes had swollen shut. Once she reached home, Ashlei began taking steroids and by the fourth day, her face to finally return to its normal shape.

Is THIS Britain's savviest couple? Homeowners spend £12k on 'garden' in front of their home to block off locals
A savvy couple have spent £12,000 on buying up a small piece of land in front of their house from their council to 'extend their garden and shelter their property' - annoying locals who say they have only done it to increase the value of their home. Christopher Slater, 57, and his wife Diane, 59, own a country house set within 11 acres of private grounds, just south of Haddington. Christopher and Diane, who run Glen Appin in Scotland, a company known for its Harris Tweed bags and accessories, currently have the house and a cottage on the grounds for sale at a price of £2.5 million. Their purchase of the 2850 sqm (or thereby) of garden ground land at Inglisfield from the council is a move which has raised questions amongst neighbours and some villagers nearby. Whilst some have questioned how the couple managed to aquire the once public land for their own means, others suggest the move shows them to be petty for buying a piece of land that makes little or no difference to their lives - particularly in such a remote area. The details of their sale were documented in a recent document lodged with the Members library of East Lothian. It said ahead of the sale: 'Mr & Mrs Slater have been leasing the land since 2005 for use as garden ground and to shelter their property from the main road. They currently have 79 years left on a 99 year lease. The passing rent is £600 pa. It continued: 'Following notification of their latest rent review they have made an offer to purchase the land outright rather than continue to rent the land. Due to ground conditions and burns that run through the land this land is not suitable for grazing or development and due to the remote location, there is little to no market demand for this land.' In the report, lodged during summer recess, elected members were told that their head of infrastructure approved the sale. It also acknowledged that while the council will receive £12,000 which will be transferred into its trading account, it does lose the £600 it would have continued to receive in rent for a further 79 years in the deal. Locals in the area had a mixed response to news that the Slaters were able to purchase the land in front of their home. One said: 'The road is blocked off there now so it's just a bit of useless land.' And a second said: 'It's a bit snobby. It must be because they are selling it. That would make sense. I'm sure that'll push the price up now.' Another local said the piece of land purchased was of no use to anyone so it was a bit of a surprise they bought it. He added: 'That's the old road. That doesn't go anywhere. When they chopped the road off, probably about 40 years ago,it became redundant. It's no longer been used. It's a useless piece of land. 'It's a nice driveway. And that road, nobody will miss it or anything like that. Nobody walks along it and goes, 'oh, they can't walk on it now anyway'. You can walk where the bl***y h** you want in Scotland. The owners are very nice people though.' Others suggested the move was savvy from a business point of view. He said: 'It's not up to the council to use it as a ransom strip, a very small piece of land that belongs to somebody else, something with relative value that they're withholding. 'The Slaters paid £12,000. The going rate is about six grand an acre just now. It will probably assist the sale of the house, so it's a business move. 'Not everyone will be ok with that. It might actually mean that they can demand more when they sell it.' Another questioned: 'I can't see it affecting the main road. The council suit themselves. Has it been advertised before the decision? - I didn't know about it. The council are always doing mad things. 'If no more property is being built on it then it might be ok. If there were planning permission that would be one helluva bargain. Was this on the open market?'
