How to Prevent Summer Burns — and What to Do When They Happen

Learn how to prevent common summer burns from grilling, fireworks, and sun exposure and discover how Alocane Max Emergency Burn Gel offers instant relief if accidents happen.

Why Summer Is Prime Time for Burn Accidents

Summer is all about soaking up the sun, hosting cookouts, and enjoying fireworks and outdoor adventures. But it’s also the season when burn injuries spike. With more time spent outdoors and greater exposure to heat sources, accidents can happen fast.

Common causes include:

• Increased sun exposure: Long days at the beach or pool can result in painful sunburns.
• Grilling and campfires: Flames, hot grates, and boiling liquids pose serious burn risks.
• Fireworks and sparklers: Mishandling or proximity to fireworks can lead to skin injuries.
• Children and pets: Curious little ones are especially vulnerable near grills, fire pits, and sparklers.

While many burns are minor, they’re still painful and prompt treatment is key to comfort and healing.

Common Burn Risks During Summer Activities

Grilling Accidents

• Contact with hot grates or flare-ups
• Loose clothing near open flames
• Overuse of lighter fluid

Sunburns from Prolonged UV Exposure

• Skipping or forgetting to reapply SPF
• Not protecting high-risk areas like shoulders, backs, or feet
• Napping under the sun without shade

Fireworks & Sparklers

• Mishandling sparklers or standing too close
• Relighting a “dud” firework
• Children playing unsupervised near flames

Campfires & Outdoor Cooking

• Tripping near open fires
• Hot cookware or boiling water spills
• Firewood popping unexpectedly

Smart Burn Prevention Tips for Summer Fun

Preventing burns doesn’t mean skipping the fun—it just means being a little more cautious:

• Grill safely: Use long-handled tools, heat-resistant gloves, and never leave the grill unattended.
• Sunscreen is non-negotiable: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming.
• Handle fireworks with care: Use them only in open areas, wear eye protection, and keep water nearby.
• Campfire safety: Keep kids and chairs several feet away from the fire. Never use gasoline or lighter fluid to get a fire going.
• Hydrate and cover up: Drink plenty of water, wear hats and light layers, and take shade breaks.
