Wednesday's results... 
which two are true and which is not?

1. Never apply ice, grease or butter to a burn.  TRUE
Never apply ice, grease or butter to a burn as they may cause more damage to the skin and 
increase the risk of infection.

2. Electrical burns don't need to be seen by a doctor unless you can see that your baby's skin has been burned.  FALSE
Evaluating the extent of an electrical burn can be difficult because internal damage can occur without visible injury to the skin. All electrical burns should be seen by a doctor.

3. Blisters that form on a burn should be left intact until seen by a doctor.  TRUE
Blisters provide a barrier to infection so leave them intact until seen by a doctor.
