Fireworks are usually a large part of the celebrationJuly 4 weekend, with many people who are looking at the sparks flying in their exhibitions of the city or the city. However, health leaders urge people to celebrate July 4 at this year's home due to the rise in coronavirus business in many parts of the country. And those who wants that advice can decide to createfireworks in their own court. Of course, the establishment of fireworks is extremely important, especially since some people can do it for the first time and because hospitals are already overcrowded with CVIV-19 patients in many American hotspots. In fact, you should be particularly suspicious of a kind offireworks that sends most people to the emergency year after year:sparklers.

The annual fireworks report of the United States Consumer Products Safety Board (CPCC), which was published in June, considers that there had been 10,000 fireworks injuries Treated in the ERA nationally in 2019. But 73% of these injuries occurred during the period of one month between June 21 and 21 July, in which July 4 falls. And Sparklers was responsible for 12% of these ER visits, the largest number of fireworks. The firecrackers (small small, large, illegal and unspecified varieties followed closely as the runner, responsible for 11% of the visits of a fireworks. And rockets, missiles and bottles were behind 6% of the fireworks injuries.

"Sparklers are often considered harmless but let's be clear, they can be mortal if they are not used correctly. They are actually the cause most often of all artifice-related injuries," former president of CPSCAnn Marie Buerkle told the group's annual groupArtifice security demonstration In 2018, ABC News reported.

But why are sparklers so dangerous? According to CPSC,Sparkers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees, which is hot enough to melt metals. AsBruyère Trnka, the injury prevention supervisor at Akron Children's Hospital, told theAkron Beacon Journal, it'seven hotter than a blowtorch.

One of the main problems is that parents give these fireworks to their children under the hypothesis of a sort of fireworks safer. However, 55% of these sparkler injuries in 2019 were allocated to children aged 4 or under. "I do not know how many parents will give their children a torch, but they will give them a Sparkler," Trnka said.

And this year has a particular danger to carry a mask while illuminating fireworks that can do even more damage. AsDonna SKODA, MS, RD, Summit County Commissioner, Ohio, emphasized atAkron Beacon Journal: "You have an flammable cloth covering your face and turn a fire around your head."
