🔥⚠️ Parent & Carer Alert: The “Salt & Ice Challenge”

A dangerous online trend is resurfacing where children put salt on their skin and press ice on top.

👉 This causes serious cold burns (like frostbite).

👉 Injuries can need hospital treatment and even skin grafts.

👉 Young people may not realise the damage until it’s too late.

✅ Cool under lukewarm water 10+ mins

✅ Cover with cling film

✅ Seek medical help

❌ Do NOT use ice, creams, or fluffy dressings.

⚠️ The “Salt & Ice Challenge” is NOT harmless. Please talk to your children & young people—don’t risk lasting damage for online likes.
