First Aid
If we are unlucky enough to receive burns which require treatment, here is what to do:
- Immediately cool the affected area with cold running water for several minutes.
- Remove any rings etc. before swelling starts.
- Apply a sterile dressing to protect against infection.
- Do not apply lotions, ointments etc., nor prick any blisters which form later.
- Seek professional medical advice where necessary.
