๐Ÿ”ฅโš ๏ธ Parent & Carer Alert: The โ€œSalt & Ice Challengeโ€

A dangerous online trend is resurfacing where children put salt on their skin and press ice on top.

This causes serious cold burns (like frostbite).

Injuries can need hospital treatment and even skin grafts.

Young people may not realise the damage until It's too late.

โœ… First Aid: Cool with lukewarm running water for 10+ minutes, cover with clean cling film, and seek medical help.

โŒ Do NOT use ice, creams, or fluffy dressings.

Key message for children & young people:

โœจ Hurting yourself for likes isn't worth it. Don't let a 'trend' leave permanent scars!
