Abstract

Critical Care Medicine Dermatology General & Internal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Surgery
This paper reviews burns that occur because of specific social habits and traditions; religious beliefs and activities; social events and festivals; and traditional medical practices. A literature review did not reveal any article that specifically reviews such burns. These injuries are not only interesting (being nation-specific) but are also important with regards to implementation of preventive measures in various countries around the world.
