WHAT DOES SCALDING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scalding

Scalding

Scalding is a form of burning from heated fluids such as boiling water or steam. Most scalds result from exposure to high-temperature water such as tap water in baths and showers or cooking water boiled for the preparation of foods. Another common cause of scalds is spilled hot drinks, such as coffee. Scalds are generally more common in children, especially from the accidental spilling of hot liquids. Most scalds are considered first or second degree burns, but third degree burns can result, especially with prolonged contact. Scalds are typically far more severe when caused by steam, because it has absorbed a great amount of latent heat, and is therefore far more effective at heating objects.

Definition of scalding in the English dictionary

The definition of scalding in the dictionary is that scalds; burning; too hot.

My life changed irrevocably four-and-a-half years ago when my spine failed and collapsed. I spent two years on the floor, in excruciating, debilitating and unrelenting pain.
