IntroductionA distraught mother claims her daughter's lunch of an innocent celery stick left her face covered in
A distraught mother claims her daughter's lunch of an innocent celery stick left her face covered in burns - when it transformed in the sun like giant hogweed.
Tyler Field was left horrified when her seven-month-old daughter Imelda Sykes broke out in a red rash on her face and hands.
The tot had been snacking on a celery stick in the sunshine on Sunday May 19th for just 15 minutes when her complexion immediately began to change colour.
Concerned Imelda was suffering an allergic reaction or had been burnt by the sun, Tyler told a close friend about what had happened when she learned the risks of eating celery in the sunshine.
After carrying out her own research, the mother-of-two discovered that Imelda had suffered from phytophotodermatitis - also known as 'margarita burns'.
Mother Tyler Field was left horrified after her daughter Imelda Sykes broke out in a red rash and blisters after chewing a stick of celery in the sunshine
While at first it looked as if Imelda had got away with just a red rash, painful, fluid-filled blisters began breaking out on her arm and mouth the next day
The 25-year-old mother said she felt 'huge mum guilt' and worries that her daughter may be permanently scarred from the skin reaction
This is a skin reaction when the sap from certain plants such as giant hogweed - but also like carrots, celery and limes, gets on the skin and is then exposed to sunlight. The areas affected become acutely red, and often blister.
Tyler, who lives in Reading, Berkshire, believed Imelda had got away with just a red rash - before painful, fluid-filled blisters began breaking out on her baby's arm and mouth the following day.
The 25-year-old said she felt 'huge mum guilt' and fears her daughter may be scarred for life from the vegetable-induced skin reaction.

Tyler, a stay-at-home mother, said: 'I gave Imelda a celery stick for something to chew on and never really questioned it in my mind.
'She was then sat outside in the sun with her sun hat on. Within three hours, I noticed her cheeks and hands were a bit red.
'I couldn't work it out at first. I thought she had had an allergic reaction but she'd had celery inside before and she hadn't eaten anything new before.
'It looked like burns, I was really concerned. I thought she's some sunburnt somehow.
'Then I was meeting up with my friend for dinner that evening and told her about what happened. She said 'she hasn't had celery has she?' My heart just dropped.
'Apart from her, none of my friends had heard of it before. I looked online and saw it could cause all sorts of burns and blisters and thought we'd got away with this. She only had a bit of redness around her mouth and hands.
'But then the next morning she had big, fluid-filled blisters all around her hands and around her face. It's clearly where she had the celery on her hand and around her mouth.
'I had them on my arms too from where she had touched me. You can see the little fingerprints on my arm. I was so shocked.
'By the next day, the blisters became weeping skin. Then it started scabbing over and she still has a lot of redness on her face and hands.'
The blisters later became weeping skin, and even mother Tyler got some burns on her arms where her daughter had touched her
The next morning Imelda had big fluid-filled blisters around both her mouth and hands
Tyler wants to warn other parents about phytophotodermatitis before other children become victims and also suffer burns.
Tyler said: 'I was crying into my boyfriend's chest. I felt so guilty and I know it's completely irrational but, as a mum, you feel like you should know these things. I will never make that mistake again.
'It's a summer food that everyone eats. It's really concerning. I think it's more prevalent in children because they're messy eaters and it's smeared all over their skin.
'But throughout this whole thing, I'm really surprised how little people actually know about this.
'There's a potential she could be scarred for a very long time because of this. I just want to make people aware and let them know it's celery burn. It's just not common knowledge and needs to be more widely known.'
