Causes of Burns

Burn type wounds are mechanically caused by friction, freezing, contact with burning chemical agents, being exposed to the sun for a long time, radiation, being in contact with fire or other extremely hot agents.

Treatment must be decided depending (or based) on the cause of the burn. 90% of burns in our country are related to contact with hot agents are caused by the spilling of tea. Children are more subjected to these types of burns. We shouldn’t forget that it is in our hands to prevent these types of accidental burns. In order to take precaution about accidental burns, we need to pay attention to not leaving tea where children can reach and we also have to be careful when children approach us while we have a hot cup of tea in our hands.
