## Caption

Ice belongs in drinks, not on burns.

Next time you get a burn, please don’t use ice or anything freezing to soothe it. You’ll cause more damage to the skin and potentially get hypothermia if you use freezing cold temperatures on a large area of the body.

➡️ What you should do is focus on cooling the burn by using clean, cool running water or a cool compress for at least 10 minutes.
