An influencer suffered “agonizing” burns to her face and chest after a pressure cooker exploded.
Rafaela Rocha Sousa, 35, said she suffered first-degree burns on her face and second-degree burns on her chest when the device exploded at her home in Goiás, Brazil.
Rafaela, known online as Rapha Poppet, said she went to turn off the pressure cooker when the machine exploded in her face.
In an online post, he shared images of the horrific burn and said: “I went to turn off the pressure cooker that was generating pressure but it was dripping water, a little bit of foam.
“When I turned it off, I grabbed the handle and the lock didn’t work, it turned a little to the side and ‘BUMM’, it exploded.”
After the explosion, he pushed the lid against the wall with his hand, but boiling water splashed on his face and chest.

Sharing details with his 20,000 followers, he added: “It was four hours of a lot of pain and burning.”
Shocking images show his skin singed and covered in blisters.
The shadowy burn snaked from his chest to his forehead.
The influencer told how she was treated by emergency medical services and transferred first to a local emergency care unit and then to a municipal hospital.
Rafaela, who works as a nail designer and educational mentor, told her followers that she is recovering well but still needs to rest before resuming work.
She also warned to be careful when using pressure cookers, saying: “I was already terrified and now I can only thank the Lord.”
It comes months after schoolboy Caden Ballard, 12, was left screaming in agony and his skin melting after a viral stunt went horribly wrong.
Caden attempted to recreate a fire experiment he saw on TikTok, but instead of a harmless trick, his shirt ignited in a near-deadly fire.
The preteen and his older brother attempted to light a glass bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol, as seen in a popular social media stunt, at their home in Coleman, Texas, on August 16.
But the liquid burned with an invisible flame, and when Caden went to throw the bottle away, it set his clothes on fire.
He quickly suffered second and third degree burns to his chest, arms and torso.
Caden’s older brother acted quickly, ripped off Caden’s burning shirt and saved Caden’s life before he was rushed to the hospital.
When Caden’s mother walked to the porch, she saw her son’s face, chest, arms and stomach covered in burns.
“It looked like his skin had melted,” Caden’s mother, Christina, told the CBS affiliate. KTAB.

“They like to listen to the stories on TikTok, you know, the reddit stories. So I never expected things to turn out the way they did.”
The young man is now recovering, but faces a long road of surgeries and skin grafts ahead, his family saying.
