X10: Contact with hot drinks, food, fats and cooking oils

Contact with hot drinks, food, fats, and cooking oils refers to a group of conditions that primarily result from accidental exposure to these substances, usually in a domestic setting or occupational environment. This exposure causes burn injuries of varying severity, ranging from minor first-degree burns that just affect the skin's outer layer, called the epidermis, to more severe second- and third-degree burns that penetrate deeper skin layers and can damage underlying tissues. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, pain at the injury site, and in severe cases, blisters or open wounds can form. The condition's progression can be sudden, with symptoms appearing immediately after contact, and without proper care, risk of infection or scarring increases. The integumentary system, which includes the skin, is primarily affected by these conditions. Avoidance of accidental exposure to these hot substances remains the primary means of prevention.
