Emma-Louise Owen is warning other parents about the dangers of the 'tanghulu challenge', as it turned into 'prison napalm' in the microwave. Emma's 12-year-old daughter Sophie-Rosie was left with burn blisters after attempting the craze.
The mixture boiling water and sugar, known as 'prison napalm', is often used as a weapon by prisoners as the deadly liquid sticks to the skin and intensifies burns, one of the principal effects of jelly-like napalm bombs. Emma said: "We were told it could've been a lot worse. Because we acted so quickly and kept it under water for so long, we sort of killed off the burns."
The 34-year-old agreed as she had seen the trend on other social media platforms too herself and warned Sophie to be careful but soon heard a piercing scream come from the kitchen. Emma, who lives in Cardiff, said her daughter had heated the syrup using a plastic jug in the microwave - but the boiling hot sauce had melted through the container onto Sophie's foot and hand.
