February 1-7 is Burn Awareness Week. Take time with your family and friends to discuss how to prevent scalding and burns. Approximately 450,000 burn injuries require medical treatment each year. The National Fire Protection Association offers some recommendation to keep you and your family safe:
• Allow microwave food to cool before eating;
• Place hot liquids and food in the center of a table or toward the back of the counter;
• Test bath water before you or a child get in the tub; and
• Never heat a baby bottle in the microwave oven. Heat baby
bottles in warm water from the faucet.
