Avoid using alcohol to light barbecues and grills: an important message from the Cardarelli hospital in Naples.
The Burns Center at the Cardarelli Hospital in Naples has launched an urgent appeal in view of Easter Monday: absolutely avoid using alcohol to light barbecues and grills, as it could put your life at risk.
Last year, 30 cases of very serious injuries and 6 deaths were recorded due to alcohol combustion. During the holidays, numerous emergencies related to extensive and deep burns caused by the improper use of alcohol to light fires are found.
It is important to pay attention to these situations to avoid serious consequences. The head of the Intensive Care Unit for Major Burns at Cardarelli, Romolo Villani, emphasizes the importance of avoiding the use of alcohol during Easter Monday celebrations.
This year too, the public is urged to be careful and avoid risky practices that could cause permanent damage or even death. Safety must be a priority during the holidays to avoid even serious accidents with irreparable consequences.
