WICHITA, Kan. -- A Kansas father has a warning for all parents after finding something strange on his infant daughter's foot.
Scott Walker said his daughter, Molly, was cranky, screaming and began to overheat, so his wife took off her socks. That's when they saw a hair wrapped tightly around her toe.
Walker shared a photo on Facebook to warn other parents. The photo was taken 45 minutes after the hair was removed with tweezers and a magnifying glass.
Walker wrote:
The medical term is called a hair tourniquet. It can cut through skin and cut off blood flow, according to experts.
A doctor told them that parents should always check a baby's toes because hairs can tangle around them inside socks.
