Now Notaro is taking painkillers and wearing a mask, she can't go out in the sun. Medicines, eye drops and ointments cost $600 per month. In the hospital, she communicated with guests only through glass, only her mother was allowed into the ward after disinfection.

I have to spend all my money on treatment: I need to instill my eyes every half hour and moisturize my skin all the time. I can't do my job because I'm not allowed in the water. Even when I get better, the scars inside will remain, and this is for life. I will always be afraid to get out of the car, go home: I will relive this scene again and again."

Notaro received threats from her ex-boyfriend to pour acid on her and was preparing for this to happen. Her colleague at the dolphinarium uses acids to clean filters, and Notaro asked what she should do in case of an attack: wash her face or not. The colleague replied that in her place he would not use water: there is an acid that, when combined with water, corrodes the skin. The former model even thought of buying a helmet in the car so as not to be afraid to walk home from the parking lot.

Unlike other acid victims, Notaro wasn't afraid to look at her wounds.

"Very soon I wanted to look in the mirror. At first they showed me the photos, but then I decided that I wanted to see my reflection. At first, the face was dark and in wounds, one side dark brown and the other green. It shocked me a little, but then I decided to focus on the eyes — they say it's a mirror of the soul. I looked into my eyes, recognized myself and said: "Okay, it's still me.""
