Doctor 'warns influencer and her friends they may have to have their toes amputated' after standing in a bucket of ice and salt for online 'challenge'

Doctors have 'warned an influencer and her friends that they may have to have their toes amputated' after standing in a bucket of ice and salt in a bizarre online 'challenge'.

Stunning reality TV star MC Thammy, and her two male friends Teus Neiff and Artur Braz suffered first and second-degree burns after attempting the challenge in Pernambuco, Brazil.

The trio had kept their feet immersed in a bucket of ice and coarse salt which resulted in their toes turning black as they were reduced to tears from the pain.

The endurance challenge for the reality show 'N1 Influencers' was hosted by the singer Anderson Neiff, known for promoting challenges for his followers, on April 6.

According to the singer, the entire challenge was conducted under the supervision of a firefighter.

During the challenge, the three influencers kept their feet in a bucket of ice with salt for 15 minutes as a witless test of physical and mental resistance.

However, the results were immediately alarming. Shortly after the end of the 'test', the competitors experienced acute and painful reactions resulting in significant burns.

As a result, they almost had to have their limbs amputated.

On social media, the influencers revealed their suffering through videos of them crying and showing their severe burns and blisters on their feet.

Anderson said in a statement made on Instagram: 'As soon as they removed their feet, they started screaming a lot, [saying] it was burning, they cried a lot.

'I was in shock, and the firefighter said 'no, it's okay, just put it in front of the fan here'.'

The two men were assisted and taken to private hospitals. 

Thammy reportedly returned to the house where the challenge was being recorded but also needed to be taken to the hospital due to severe foot pain.

She said on Instagram: 'I asked the doctor, 'Is there a risk of losing my toe?' It felt like I was feeling it.

Artur Braz revealed his pain on social media with a video of him crying. He reportedly remains hospitalised at the Hospital Real Portugues, in downtown Recife, Brazil

A doctor warned the influencers that their toes may have had to be amputated following the risk of getting thrombosis 

Anderson took responsibility for the incident. In a public statement, he expressed his regret at the incident and pledged full support to the victims, including covering necessary medical expenses

'Three of my toes turned black when I took them out of the bucket, and he said 'yes,' and told me I had a risk of thrombosis.'

Thammy, who dropped out of the reality show, and Teus, who continues in the competition, were reportedly discharged on Sunday and are receiving care at home.

Artur reportedly remains hospitalised at the Hospital Real Portugues, in downtown Recife.

His current health status so far remains unknown.

Anderson in turn took responsibility for the incident. 

In a public statement, he expressed his regret at the incident and pledged full support to the victims, including covering necessary medical expenses.

He said: 'I take the blame because I came up with the idea for the challenge.

'Unfortunately, the firefighter didn't warn me about what could have happened.

'I sincerely apologise for having made this challenge, for having hired an unprepared firefighter.'

Also, on Instagram, Anderson shared a video of Teus being carried home with his feet bandaged and talked about his health status.

He added: 'The doctor said he can't walk for three days.'
