nice to meet you ,but in this topic I ask the question about the family ,so any problem?

security,

Again, you are creating off-topic threads (preventing scalding oneself in a financial forum). Everyone knows to try not to scald him or herself. It ranks right up there with licking a red-hot burner or sticking a fork in an outlet.

Think of it like this, would you want me to go to your forum and start a bunch of threads about Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

well if the damage has been done the best thing to do is to cool it with running water asap for at least three minutes... have yourself checked if the burn is really bad....

Someone was having a bad day...

Happens. :-) I think he'll get over it.

I guess I'm in the wrong thread. I was looking for "How not to subject myself to accidental double amputation of major limbs". I can't go on searching as I am becoming quite chilly and faint at this point.

It IS hard to type without your limbs. You should also google "avoid toe cramping while typing".

Scalds are the most common type of burn injury to children.

You can prevent scalds:
-run cold water in the bath first before running hot water
-seat your child away from the faucet handles in the bath
-install a hook or slide latch on the upper outside of the bathroom door to keep unsupervised children out of the bathroom
-install anti-scald devices that maintain the flow of tap water within a safe temperate range
-use placemats instead of tablecloths - children can pull on tablecloths causing hot food and drinks to fall
-use gates and playpens to keep active toddlers safety away from cooking areas.
