, according to the Arizona Burn Center. Even brief contact can cause deep burns in the skin, the center said in a news release.
The Arizona Burn Center reported seven deaths and a record 104 heat-related burn injuries in June, July and August of last year. That was a 49% increase from the year before, the center's news release said. Infants and toddlers are especially susceptible to surface burns, the center said, and parents should touch anything first that might touch their children.
