Burns
Description:
Burns can be subdivided into three categories; first, second and third degree - with severe cases having different treatment methods respectively. First degree burns are generally minor and can (usually) be ignored though second and third degrees require direct medical intervention.
Burns between 1% to 20% strength are first degree, between 21% to 50% they are second degree and above 51% they are third degree. Both acid burns and normal burns are counted together when determining the actual degree.
