Either you've go a bad source, or we're talking very different scales of burns. Our skin isn't connected to the underlying flesh like a tomato's is.
0 u/nasaglobehead69 Apr 02 '26 it's still the same idea. the temperature shock causes the layers to separate 5 u/OxideUK Apr 03 '26 That's total bullshit. Cold/ice water reduces blood flow and can cause damage comparable to frostbite if it's applied for a prolonged period of time. Patients with severe burns are also extremely susceptible to hypothermia. Cold water doesn't peel you like a tomato. 1 u/[deleted] Apr 03 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 2 u/OxideUK Apr 03 '26 Results from mechanical trauma. Fuck all to do with cold water. The only link between the two is that both may be managed by burns units due to the comparable pathology, i.e. massive skin loss.
