What does real meth burn like and what look-alikes burn similar?
Burns during manufacture:
There are physical burns that can occur during the manufacture of methamphetamines, however, these are not really burns from meth itself. The burns from the manufacture are generally either chemical burns, such as from anhydrous ammonia. Chemical reactions that can result in fire or excessive heat, such as the mixing of hydroiodic acid and red phosphorous in water. Then, there could be what might be referred to as internal chemical burns from inhaling potentially harmful or deadly fumes (such as phosphine gas) that can result from improper handling of chemicals or procedures.
Igniting Meth:
If you expose any amount of meth directly to a flame it will violently "fizzle". Most of it will vaporize while the rest will become a black hard burned compound. The heat from this chemical reaction will generate flash fire. One might compare it to a dash of gun powder.
Administration (smoking):
Smoking meth requires heating it with a flame. Commonly, the meth is placed in a glass pipe, or on aluminum foil, and heated from underneath. The smoker must be very careful not to over heat, lest the smoker ruin his/her meth. In the smoking apparatus, the rock (or "ice crystal") will quickly melt just like a real ice cube, only much faster. The transition from ice crystal to liquid to vapor is so fast, it will seem as if it begins to release this vapor as soon as it starts to melt. The remaining liquid, if it was heated slowly and carefully, will recrystallize within 5 to 15 a few seconds as it cools.
Meth and cocaine, when both are in their powder form, will look exactly the same, and burn the same. Although, these days, you will rarely find meth in it's powdered form (methamphetamine hydroxide) except during it's manufacture. Meth is usually only distributed in it's more pure crystalline rock form. Cocaine, also, is now more widely distributed in rock form called "crack", and while they would still burn similar, the appearance of crack cocaine is different than that of Meth. Meth crystal will break apart easy, and have a "crumb cake" texture. If you put a meth rock crystal in your mouth it would dissolve (with very very bitter taste). The crack cocaine rock does not as easily break apart, has a "bar of soap" texture, and will not dissolve into your system when it is put in the mouth (and has no taste while in your mouth). (in fact, many crack-heads will hide their crack under their tongue)
Side Effects:
Dehydration will often occur as a result of taking meth. During it's use the body will dehydrate faster than normal. Along with this, one will often forget to drink water as they "speed". To remedy this, one must simply make a conscious effort to drink more water (not sodas, as a speeder will more quickly choose). Bladder infection will most likely occur, causing a burning sensation when urinating.
Sometimes there is a side effect from taking meth often referred to as "crystal dick". Again, mostly due to dehydration, the symptoms are a burning sensation similar to a urinary track infection, but the burning sensation is also when ejaculation occurs, accompanied by very little volume, and weak ejaculation.
Yes, pure hydrogen peroxide can cause burns when it comes into contact with the skin.
What type of injury is a burn to the face?
Burns to the face are also categorized as maxillofacial trauma.
What was the impact that Fiona Wood had on society?
If you are referring to the British-Australian plastic surgeon, she has become known for her research into helping burn victims. According to Wikipedia, "Wood has become well known for her patented invention of spray-on skin for burn victims, a treatment which is being continually developed. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days." She is also interesting in reducing the scarring that burns often leave, and continues to do research into that aspect of the healing process.
You burned your knuckle Now you have a large blister there What do you do?
- Signs and symptoms: These burns produce redness, pain, and minor swelling. The skin is dry without blisters.
- Healing time: Healing time is about 3 to 6 days; the superficial skin layer over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days.
- Signs and symptoms: These burns produce blisters, severe pain, and redness. The blisters sometimes break open and the area is wet looking with a bright pink to cherry red color.
- Healing time: Healing time varies depending on the severity of the burn. It can take up to 3 weeks or more.
- Signs and symptoms: The surface appears dry and can look waxy white, leathery, brown, or charred. There may be little or no pain or the area may feel numb at first because of nerve damage.
- Healing time: Healing time depends on the severity of the burn. Deep second- and third-degree burns (called full-thickness burns) will likely need to be treated with skin grafts, in which healthy skin is taken from another part of the body and surgically placed over the burn wound to help the area heal
- You think your child has a second- or third-degree burn.
- The burned area is large (2-3 inches in diameter), even if it seems like a minor burn. For any burn that appears to cover more than 10% of the body, call for medical assistance. And don't use wet compresses or ice because they can cause the child's body temperature to drop. Instead, cover the area with a clean, soft cloth or towel.
- The burn comes from a fire, an electrical wire or socket, or chemicals.
- The burn is on the face, scalp, hands, joint surfaces, or genitals.
- The burn looks infected (with swelling, pus, increasing redness, or red streaking of the skin near the wound).
For First-Degree Burns:
- Remove the child from the heat source.
- Remove clothing from the burned area immediately.
- Run cool (not cold) water over the burned area (if water isn't available, any cold, drinkable fluid can be used) orhold a clean, cold compress on the burn for approximately 3-5 minutes (do not use ice, as it may cause more destruction to the injured skin).
- Do not apply butter, grease, powder, or any other remedies to the burn, as these increase the risk of infection.
- Apply aloe gel or cream to the affected area. This may be done a few times during the day.
- Give your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain.
- If the area affected is small (the size of a quarter or smaller), keep it clean. You can protect it with a sterile gauze pad or bandage for the next 24 hours (but do not use bandages on very young kids, as these can be a choking hazard).
For Second- and Third-Degree Burns:
- Seek emergency medical care, then follow these steps until medical personnel arrive:
- Keep your child lying down with the burned area elevated.
- Follow the instructions for first-degree burns.
- Remove all jewelry and clothing from around the burn (in case there's any swelling after the injury), except for clothing that's stuck to the skin. If you're having difficulty removing clothing, you may need to cut it off or wait until medical assistance arrives.
- Do not break any blisters.
- Apply cool water over the area for at least 3-5 minutes, then cover the area with a clean white cloth or sheet until help arrives.
Is there such thing as a fourth degree burn?
Yes There is, A fourth degree burn goes all the way through the 3 skin layers (3rd degree is all 3 layers damaged) and it continues damage into the underlying tissues such as organs tendons muscle etc) There is also 5th and 6th degree which goes all the way to bone charring (seen in autopsies)
How can burn injuries be prevented?
Burn injuries are not only caused by fires. They can also be brought about by chemicals, such thioniumglycote and acid. Those are chemical burns.
Mostly common sense and caution. Don't leave irons,stoves,ovens,etc... on and/or plugged in
How long does it take for human flesh to burn?
Skin is another name for the human flesh. Human flesh is an organ and has cells within it. The human flesh will burn immediately when touched by fire.
Burn-in is the reason computer screensavers were invented. Burn-in happens when an image is displayed too long on a screen. This only happens with traditional CRT "tube" televisions and monitors and plasma TVs and monitors. It has been an especially big problem with rear-projection TVs. On these TVs and monitors, the tubes beam electrons onto the back of a phosphor-coated screen. If the images don't move for an extended period of time they can become permanently etched on the screen. FYI rear projection TVs now use light passing through an LCD. Burn in isn't nearly as big an issue with modern rear projection and LCD projection screens as it was with the older ones. It's also not nearly as big an issue as with plasma and LCD TVs, which have some pretty intense burn ins. The biggest problem you have to worry about with LCDs is dead pixels. Pixels die and just turn black, or sometimes white. The biggest problem with Plasmas is the fact that the actual plasma in the TV weakens over time and the brightness of the screen is drastically reduced over time. We have three at work that we bought about a year ago and they've lost approximagely 25-35% of their brightness already. LCD projection TVs have LCDs in them, so they can suffer from pixel death as well. Rear projection TVs without LCD projection can have their R, G, and B guns burn out - but those guns can be replaced (although it's sometimes expensive).
If you mean razor burn it is when you shave and and leaves the skin red and sore like a burn. A good shaving cream can help, so can a sharp razor or maybe a good quality electric razor. Also your skin gets somewhat used to shaving after awhile. To get a good idea on what is razor burn and how to prep for a shave, shave properly, and avoid razor burn visit the site attached below.
What is the first second and third degree burn?
First degree is a a thin burn like when you barely touch your finger on a straightener or curling iron. Second degree is a little more serious and you get that when you burn your hand or something on a flame. And third degree are bad burns that you can get all over and you bleed and you have burns all over... my uncle lost his arm in a third degree burn when he was around my age (13) by accidentally touching a low power line that was by the pool.
Steam carries more energy than boiling water. When water is at its boiling point, it requires additional energy to boost it into a gaseous state. When the steam comes in contact with a cooler object and condense back to a liquid, it releases that energy as heat. If that object is human skin, that heat will cause a burn.
- - - - -
It would be very rare to have steam with the same temperature as boiling liquid water. The only way to keep water liquid past 100 degrees C is to put it under pressure. By contrast, once you have formed steam you can raise it to just about any temperature you want - there are many industrial processes that require steam at 600 degrees F.
Hence, at least part of the reason burns from steam are more severe than burns from boiling water, is the steam is hotter.

Does an iron burn have to blister to heal?
No, blisters are not necessary for an iron burn to heal. Proper wound care, such as keeping the burn clean and dressed, will help promote healing. If you are concerned about your burn, it's best to consult a medical professional for advice.
How do you treat a hot water burn?
First figure out what type of burn it is. For first and second degree burns(redness and blisters), you can run the burn under cool water. You can also apply an ice pack or some Aloe Vera gel/spray. If it is really bad, call 911. For third and electrical burns(charred/burned skin), you call 911. Then you cover the burn with a sterile bandage. DO NOT apply ointments, gels, or creams. DO NOT run under water or apply ice. DO NOT attempt to remove the clothing from affected area.
What should you wash a second degree burn with?
Rinse it gently under cool water, then put an icepack on it wrapped in a clean washcloth and go to the emergency room.
