Arizona woman suffers 2nd-degree burns on her feet

A Wickenberg grandmother is recovering from second degree burns after her feet were on the scorching Arizona pavement for less than two minutes.

In the afternoon, heat temperatures that are coming from the ground are a lot hotter than they are in the air.

Amparos Solis couldn’t feel that heat radiating under her due to her Type 1 diabetes. The disease can cause neuropathy, or nerve damage.

"This usually begins at the tips of the toes or fingers and spreads upward. Poorly controlled blood sugar could cause you to lose all sense of feeling in the affected limbs over time," the Mayo Clinic said.

We want to warn you that some of the details are graphic.
