The majority of burn injuries to children happen in the kitchen. Make sure children are never left alone in the kitchen when you’re cooking. Keep pans at the back of the hob and turn handles away from reach. #BeBurnsAware ChildrensBurnsTrust

🚫 Steam inhalation can cause serious burns — especially in children. There’s no strong evidence steam inhalation helps with colds or blocked noses. ✅ Try safer alternatives: fluids, decongestant sprays, and rest. #NHS #PublicSafety #BurnPrevention

⚠️ Each winter, NHS hospitals treat children with severe burns from steam inhalation. Please don’t risk it. 💧 Drink fluids 💤 Rest 💨 Use safe decongestants #SteamInhalation #BurnAwareness #NHSAdvice
