The piercing cost her only \u00a39 \u2014 which is about $11 USD! To put that in perspective, the average cost of a lip piercing in the United States is around $40 USD. Souza got a serious discount, but it would unfortunately lead to a serious medical issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Man Ate Leftover Noodles \u2014 And Had To Have His Legs &amp; Fingers Amputated!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Her mother, <strong>Maria Aparecida da Silva Oliveira<\/strong>, told <em>Diario do Nordeste<\/em> that her daughter began feeling \u201cunwell\u201d around June 13. Her family originally thought it was due to a mosquito-borne viral illness that recently had an outbreak in their area, but the doctor thought different:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAround June 13, she began to feel unwell, with severe headaches and fever. We thought it was dengue because there was an outbreak here in Itapor\u00e3. We took her to the doctor and, until then, we thought that was it, because my other son had it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It was concluded that her illness was caused by an infection due to her lower-lip piercing. Maria told the local <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> outlet her daughter died twice as they were transferring her to another hospital for an MRI \u2014 and then died twice again at the second hospital! She was brought back a total of four times after experiencing cardiac arrest:<\/p>\n<p>Poor woman\u2026 Doctors believed it was too late to help her, but they did try. They rushed her to surgery where they attempted to remove the infected piercing. Unfortunately, due to the fast progression of the infection, things were only looking worse. Doctors explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe saw that her mouth was very swollen, there was no way to move it. It was so swollen that there was no way to take it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They couldn\u2019t even remove the piercing because the infection was so bad and her mouth was so swollen. Just awful\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Andressa was moved to the ICU where she was intubated, but the infection had gone septic and infiltrated her brain:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe infection went into the bloodstream and, from there, lodged in the brain. She underwent surgery and was intubated. She stayed from June 15th to July 9th [in the ICU].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Medics told Oliveira that the infection had affected around 37 percent of her daughter\u2019s brain and unfortunately there wasn\u2019t much else they could do. After 24 days in intensive care, the young mom passed away. She was only 20 years old\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Souza leaves behind her husband and a 3-year-old son. Maria reported that her grandson is \u201cinconsolable\u201d after the loss of his mother:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe is also inconsolable because, as little as he is, he saw his mother in that situation. It is very difficult for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Just heartbreaking. That poor child\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Her mother said Andressa didn\u2019t mention if the piercing was done by a professional or not. It\u2019s still unknown which business she received the lip piercing from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MayoClinic<\/strong> recommends you always go to a professional with sterilized equipment. It\u2019s also recommended to wash your piercings twice a day \u2014 use soap and water for body piercings and an antiseptic, alcohol-free mouthwash for mouth piercings. Avoid swimming, don\u2019t twist or pull at the jewelry unless you\u2019re cleaning it, and always remember to leave the piercing in as taking it out can trap the infection inside the wound.<\/p>\n<p>Our hearts go out to Andressa and her loved ones during this difficult time. We hope they can find healing after such a tragic loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight\">R.I.P.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image_cite\"><em>[Image via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FaceBook\/<\/a><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\">Andressa Souza<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
