⚠️The “Salt and Ice Challenge” is an online trend where young people place salt on their skin and press ice on top for as long as possible.

The “Salt & Ice Challenge” is NOT harmless. It causes severe cold burns, scarring & sometimes skin grafts. Please talk to children & young people—don’t risk lasting damage for online likes.

Parents & carers: beware the “Salt & Ice Challenge.” ❄️+🧂 = serious burns.
✅ Cool under lukewarm water 10+ mins
✅ Cover with cling film
✅ Seek medical help
Don’t let a trend leave permanent scars.

Young people: the “Salt & Ice Challenge” can leave scars for life. ❄️ It’s not worth it for likes. Protect your skin, protect your future. 💙

BLMK ICB is currently reviewing how adult community and all-age mental health services are delivered. In the last ten years, we have made real progress in how services are delivered locally, but a surge in demand, an increase in population and the publication of the Government’s 10-Year Plan for Health means we want to think about the services we deliver to make sure they’re fit for the future, and we want to hear your views. Over recent months, we’ve been gathering insight and listening to feedback and we want to make sure we’ve heard from as many people as possible.
