These days, a scary experience of the Salt Lake of Oasis other than Egypt is going viral on social media. Travel influencer Carmen (Instagram account carmenntravels) shared that she had gone to take a bath in the famous salt lake of Siwa, but as soon as the water got into her eyes, there was such a severe burning sensation that she almost became blind.
In the post, he has warned people about the precautions to be taken before visiting this lake and bathing in it. Actually, due to the high concentration of salt in the lake, the eyes start getting irritated. Crystals form on the skin and burning occurs like a thousand small cuts. Apart from this, even if there is a small injury on the body, you should not take bath in this lake. The Siwa Oasis is a hidden gem in Egypt’s Western Desert, home to hundreds of salt lakes. Their salinity is so high (some up to 95% salt) that you can easily float, it is impossible to drown.
Looks like a crowd of tourists
There is a crowd of tourists on these lakes. Tourists come here for floating, photos and healing. Minerals are considered beneficial for skin, sinus and eye diseases. But it also has risks, just like the Dead Sea. According to Carmen’s post: If salt gets into the eyes, it causes blinding pain.
If you stay in this water for a long time, crystals form on the skin, which causes a burning feeling. Apart from this, there is a stinging feeling on small cuts or wounds. The girl jumped into the lake without thinking anything. During this time her eyes were open and water entered her eyes, due to which the girl felt almost blind.
