Why are burns Dangerous?

 Why are burns Dangerous?

Burns are dangerous because:

  • They can very quickly lead to shock in the immediate period following the burn due to loss of excessive fluids from the body.
  • They produce intense pain.
  • They lead to infection in the affected area.
  • When they heal they leave scars behind, which are disfiguring and can restrict movements.
