| Hot Water Burns like fire |

Every day more than 3 children under 5 years of age present to a hospital emergency department in Queensland for the treatment of scalds - mainly caused by hot tap water and spilt drinks and food in the home. Reduce the delivery temperature of your tap hot water to 50 degrees C and keep tea and coffee out of reach. If a burn does happen run cool running water over the area (while keeping the person warm) for at least 20 minutes. Call 000 for all serious scalds especially one involving young children.
