Cold burns

I was right! Every day is a new adventure! This week I've seen 2 students for burns of their skin caused by melting ice to the skin with salt. Apparently this is this month's stupid human trick challenge. (last month was trying to eat a teaspoon full of ground cinnamon.) Middle schoolers never cease to amaze me.

You can blame the internet for that. Something popped up online not too long ago challenging people to try to eat a spoonful of cinnamon, complete with stupid Youtube videos of people attempting to do it.

Make sure your school doesn't do a Japanese food special, or your office will be full of wasabi-snorters.
