🚨Parents - beware!🚨
We have received the alert below from Princess Alexandra Hospital
PROBLEM / CONCERN
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.
This creates a chemical reaction, rapidly lowering the temperature and causing cryogenic (cold) burns, similar to frostbite.
Children and young people may underestimate the harm as the cold numbs the skin, masking pain until significant damage has occurred
ED teams in North East London have already treated children for significant burns linked to this challenge. Similar surges have been reported nationally and internationally with second- or third-degree burns, potential need for skin grafts, lasting scarring, nerve damage, and impact on wellbeing. Peer and online pressure amplify the likelihood of wider uptake.
ACTION REQUIRED
Immediate First Aid Advice
Cool the affected area under lukewarm running water for at least 10 minutes.
Do not apply ice, creams, or fluffy dressings.
Cover with clean cling film or smooth plastic.
Seek medical attention for deep, blistered, or extensive burns.
Key Messages for Young People
“The Salt & Ice Challenge can leave permanent scars—don’t risk it.”
“Cold burns damage tissue, even if you can’t feel it happening.
“Don’t hurt yourself for likes—there are safer ways to have fun online.”
