💫 Sparkler Safety Tip!

😱 Did you know sparklers can burn at up to 1,649°C? That’s hotter than some flames! They might look magical and be fun for little ones but they can cause very serious burns if not handled carefully.

👍 Here’s a clever little hack for Bonfire Night

🥕 Instead of letting little hands hold the metal stick, pop the end of the sparkler into a carrot!

❌ The carrot doesn’t conduct heat
🖐️ It’s easier for small hands to grip
📏 And it keeps the sparkler further from their face and body

🪣 Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for used sparklers.

‼️ Always supervise closely - once it’s gone out, take it from them straight away.

🎆 Stay safe and have a sparkling Bonfire Night from all of us at Daisy First Aid!

🔹 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. RSV infectinos usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies and older adults.

🔹 RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

🔹 They're not usually serious, but some babies and adults have a higher risk of getting seriously ill, particularly:

👉 babies under 6 months old
👉 young children who were born prematurely
👉 adults over 75 years
👉 babies, children and adults with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions
👉 people who smoke to***co and babies exposed to to***co smoke

🔹 In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

🔹 This can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

🔹 RSV can also cause a serious lung infection (pneumonia) in babies and older adults.

👉 Swipe for symptoms and when to get advice from medical professionals.

✅ Save this post!

💧 We are all feeling the pinch at the moment with bills increasing. As a result, lots of families are turning to hot water bottles to help keep warm without increasing energy bills further.

🥶 As we head into the colder months, it’s so important to follow the safety guidance on hot water bottles and use them as advised. Burns from hot water bottles can be extremely serious.

There are two key bits of advice:

❌ Do not fill with boiling water
✅ Check the flower symbol found on the inside of the bottle-neck to see when it needs replacing (swipe to see how to read this).

🙏🏼 Please follow the guidance to help keep little ones (and yourself) safe.

🫶🏼 Please share this post to raise awareness.
