The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. Your skin acts as a barrier against disease, toxins, and the sun’s rays. It also helps control your body temperature,prevents your body from losing too much water, warns you when things are too hot or cold, and gives you your sense of touch. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.

Post-reading
1. How are people most likely to get burnt?
Most people are likely to get burnt in the kitchen,
by picking up a hot pan, or by getting cooking oil
spilt on themselves.
2. What steps can be taken to help prevent these burns?
being aware of the danger is a good first step.
check to see if the burner is on before touching a pan on the stove.
use oven mitts when touching a hot pan.
when using cooking oil, make sure that the pot is set firmly on the stove so that it cannot spill, and that it is not too full of oil.
3. What other advice do you know of about first aid for burns? Is it good advice or bad advice? Why?
Put oil or toothpaste on burns. I think that this is terrible advice, because it can keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.
