Arkansas: Burn Injury Types

According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), there were almost 150,000 reported chemical burn cases in the United States in 2003 alone. A portion of these cases stemmed from burn injuries in Arkansas. Chemical burns are caused by skin contact with an acid or an alkali. Chemical burns can be severe, and in some cases the burn can go through the skin and burn the underlying bone, fat or muscle. It is important to be aware that chemical burns may not always be readily apparent. A person may not be immediately aware that his or her skin has come into contact with a dangerous chemical, but the chemical starts doing damage right away. Chemical burns are commonly the result of workplace accidents. In addition, chemical burns can occur with the misuse of certain household products, such as when a cleaning solution gets into the eye. It is important to read the labels before handling anything that is chemically dangerous and take extra precautions to avoid spills and accidents that could result in severe chemical burns.
