RE: SLC21/WK6: Understanding Burns: Types, Causes, and First Aid Responses
Thanks for this lectures you have showed us so far… before now, I do rob salt on affected areas incases of first degree burn but like you explained, it’s not advisable to use home remedy.
I’m a bit confused when it comes to the acid burn. We were told not to use water because it will spread it over a larger area. Why still use water again for the next 10-20 mins for the same acid burn, after removing the clothes or jewelry from victim?
When dealing with acid burns, it’s important to use water to wash away the acid to prevent further damage. Additionally, you should remove any clothing that may have come into contact with the acid, as residual acid can continue to cause harm. Removing clothing helps to prevent it from sticking to the wound and causing additional injury.
Thanks for visiting me Sam!
