Tara wants to warn others of what she has since found out can be a common problem on the islands
A woman was left shocked after her face began to swell up while she was enjoying her holiday in the sun. Excited for a trip away, Tara Omidi from Oldham travelled to Lanzarote.
She rushed to the local chemist for advice and was told to stay out of the sun and to monitor her symptoms. Tara said: “I woke up with a swollen forehead and eye and it gradually got worse by the hour. Thankfully, three days later, the swelling subsided slightly. Tara was still left worrying whether she would get any problems at passport control on her way home.
The islands are known for being extremely windy, which can make the temperatures feel cooler. This in turn often leads to people not realising just how strong the sun really is.
