Erin Mcneill who is 19 years old, found herself laying in a coma for seven weeks. The young girl suffered horrific burns, after being trapped in a 600 degree fire starting in her friends house.
Amazingly doctors at Glasgow Royle Infirmarys burns unit tried a treatment, grafting sharks skin onto her body. This new technique and enables the dogfish or hammer head shark skin to give of a chemical, tricking the body into creating new skin cells. Six pieces of shark skin was grafted onto Erins worst burns.
After three weeks the shark skin was removed, and her skin was taken from he legs so it could be grafted onto her arms.
