HEALTH warnings about the dangers of smoking, fatty foods and booze have become increasingly common in recent years.
But now NHS chiefs in Lothian have added a more unusual public health hazard to that list ? flammable sheep costumes.
Cases of pranksters setting fire to those dressed as the farmyard animals has caused so much concern that the health board has now issued an official warning about the fancy dress attire.
And it went so far as to say a highly-flammable sheep costume could prove fatal ? following two reported cases of major burns being caused after a sheep costume was set alight in the last two years in Lothian.
