🔥🖐️ GLUE GUN BURN — HOT GLUE MEANS HOT FINGERS! 🩺

Touched the glue gun… and suddenly the project became a medical emergency! 😂

If you burn your finger:

💧 Hold it under cool running water for 20 minutes
💍 Remove rings or jewellery before swelling starts
🩹 Cover with a clean, non-stick dressing
❌ Don’t use ice, butter, toothpaste or oil
❌ Don’t pop blisters
⚠️ If hot glue is stuck to the skin, don’t pull it off — cool the area and get medical help if it remains attached.

🚑 Get medical attention for a deep or extensive burn, severe pain, loss of feeling, or burns involving a large part of the finger/hand.

M.E.D Assist reminder: Glue guns are for crafts… not finger cooking! 😂🔥🩺🚑

Your body is not a group chat — it doesn’t always send a warning before something goes wrong! 😅

Cuts, burns, chest pain, breathing problems, serious falls or unusual symptoms should never be ignored.

🩺 Trust your instincts: If something feels seriously wrong, get medical help.
🚑 Emergency symptoms? Call for emergency assistance.
🧠 And remember: Google can give you 47 diagnoses… a medical professional can give you the right one!

Stay safe. Stay prepared. And please don’t use “I’ll be fine” as your first-aid plan! 😄
