Doc Talk is back with your summer safety scoop!
After storms, beware: most hurricane deaths are from freshwater drowning — not wind! Floods are no joke, and recent storms across Texas, the Midwest, and the South are a reminder to stay alert and stay dry.
Topic of the day: BURNS! From sunburns to fireworks mishaps — your skin takes a hit.
Sunburn = painful & peely (and yep, can cause cancer!) Blisters = deeper damage
No pain? Could be a 3rd-degree burn — get help ASAP.
Best first aid? Cold running water! Not ice. Not butter. Not your grandma’s remedy. Just cool water and a trip to the doctor if it’s bad.
Prevention is key, but fast action saves skin.
Enjoy summer — just do it safely! #DocTalk #SummerSafety #FloodAware #BurnCare #CoolItQuick
