Burns are an unfortunate part of life. Burn injuries claim the lives of one person every three hours in the United States, accounting for about 1.5 deaths per 100,000 people, or about 2.1 percent of all fatal injuries.

Burn victims frequently experience long-term emotional consequences, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or nightmares about the incident. They may be hesitant to resume normal activities for fear of sustaining another burn injury.
