Girl passes out in snow, gets chronic frostbite
Updated | By tanstan fourie
If you don’t know what frostbite looks like, you’re about to find out. An Australian woman passed out in the snow in Canada, and woke up with horrific frostbite!
An Australian woman says she got too drunk and passed out in the freezing Canadian snow, only to be found outside a nursing home with her hands completely purple.
She documented her frostbite on Imgur and revealed that back in December she was out drinking with her friends when she vanished - after telling them she was going outside for a cigarette.
The woman didn’t have her jacket or gloves when she disappeared, and when she woke up hours later things didn’t look great.
She had suffered moderate hypothermia and frostbite - her hands blew up like balloons!
She described the pain and the pressure of the swelling as 'verging on unbearable', but was under strict instructions from her doctor not to 'pop' them; that was his job in a few days’ time.
The good news is that she could keep all her fingers!
We’re warning you, these images can’t be unseen.



Moral of the story: don't drink too much
What is the craziest thing you have done whilst drunk and what did you learn from it?
