A long-distance runner was left with enormous pus-filled orange blisters on her legs after suffering from devastating sunburn during a 110km jog.
Mum-of-two Julie Nisbet, 34, was running from coast to coast along Hadrian's Wall between Carlisle and Newcastle for an ultra-run called "The Wall".
But after completing the 21-hourmega-marathon on Saturday last week, Nisbet noticed small sacks of pus bubbling up across her red-raw calves, according to the Daily Mail.
"I was wearing sun cream at the start of the race but hadn't reapplied - sweat and water had pretty much got rid of what I had on the backs of my legs," she added, explaining the temperature at its hottest was about 30C.
