A North Carolina mom has gone viral on TikTok after sharing that she mistakenly put nail polish, instead of medicated eye drops, in her eyes — leading to a hospital visit.
The painful accident landed the mother, who is also a foster parent, at her local hospital in Concord, North Carolina in December, Fox 4 Dallas reported.
The viral video showed the unidentified woman in a hospital bed with her eyes closed.
“Hi, if you’re here, then you’ve seen my mom’s viral video. She’s closed her eyes,” her daughter, Ria Faggart, posted on a GoFundMe page.
