South Carolina Woman Loses Hand in Blow Dryer Accident

Mary Wilson's left hand was amputated after a freak accident involving a blow dryer left her with severe burns and nerve damage.

A South Carolina woman, Mary Wilson, suffered a freak accident with her blow dryer, leading to the amputation of her left hand and wrist due to severe burns and nerve damage.
The incident occurred on February 7, when Wilson passed out in her bathroom, possibly due to an electric shock from the blow dryer, which continued to run, exposing her hand to intense heat.
Wilson, a dog groomer by profession, has been significantly impacted by the loss of her hand, affecting her ability to perform daily tasks and her career.
She has called for hair dryers to have automatic shut-off features similar to those found in hair straighteners and flat irons, which could prevent such accidents.
Despite the life-altering injury, Wilson remains positive, looking forward to getting a prosthetic hand and has received substantial support from her community.
