Interesting, but how are scalds different?
I am a lifeguard and have been one for about 3 years now, and many of the "burns" we treat are not just caused by "dry heat." There are chemical burns, in which chemicals can react with water to produce a burning compound and become aqueous, and I'm not sure if electrical burns are considered a "dry heat" burn?
I got curious and looked it up just now. You are correct, I suppose there is a slight difference in scalds and burns. However, there is an area of gray between the two, as it can be difficult to decide between the two based on the cause of the burn as well as the damage done to the skin. Both are treated the exact same way (ofc, you wouldn't pour water on chemicals, but you would on someone who's arm was just on fire).
Nice post anon!
