X12: Contact with other hot fluids

The group of conditions referred to as "Contact with other hot fluids" pertains to injuries and health problems resulting from exposure to heated liquids. This can occur in various settings, such as kitchens, laboratories, factories, or any place where hot substances like water, oil, chemicals, or drinks are handled. When the skin or other body parts come into contact with these hot fluids, it can cause burns that range from minor to severe. Symptoms may include redness, pain, blisters, peeling skin, and in serious cases, shock or even loss of consciousness. Depending on the severity of the burn, it may also lead to complications including infections, scarring, and in some instances, damage to deeper tissues like muscles, bones, and nerves. It's important to note that these conditions are typically accidental in nature.
