A holidaymaker suffered such severe sun poisoning that her face doubled in size - leaving her fearing she wouldn't be allowed through airport security as she no longer matched her passport. Kayleigh O'Donnell and her boyfriend Mitchell Wallis jetted off to Gran Canaria for an impromptu trip where they went on a boat trip and although she lathered on the factor 50, still got slightly sunburnt.
The 21-year-old went on another the following day where she covered up further but afterwards her left eye started to shut before the same side of her face became increasingly swollen. The recruitment consultant dashed for medical help where a flabbergasted chemist asked if she'd been punched in the face and that evening her cheeks ballooned until she could barely open her eyes.
But the following morning, poor Kayleigh became so swollen she 'looked deformed' - leaving her fearing that she wouldn't make it through airport security due to being unrecognisable. She suffered from sun poisoning or polymorphic light eruption - a case of severe sunburn after being exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun for an extended period of time.
