Sparkle brightly but safely this bonfire night

“Remember remember, the 5th of November” has been burnt into our minds since childhood and, as a result, Bonfire night has become one of the most loved traditions for adults and children alike! Whether you are hosting a party or visiting an organised event, with kids (and even big kids!) getting caught up in the excitement, accidents can happen.

In the four weeks surrounding Bonfire night, over 550 children under the age of 16 are taken to A & E and, while sparklers have become a fabulous part of firework tradition, they are also a cause of injuries. Sparklers may look fun and pretty but when lit, can be up to 20 times hotter than boiling water. If not used responsibly sparklers can cause nasty burns, so ensure children holding them are closely supervised.

Stay safe this bonfire night and be prepared by having a tube of Nelsons Burns cream in your first aid kit for any little accidents. Nelson’s Burns Cream, a traditional herbal remedy, provides natural first aid relief for minor burns and relieves pain, prevents blistering and promotes healing.

Nelsons Burns Cream is priced at £4.85 (30g) and is available from Holland and Barratt, Tesco Pharmacy, Waitrose and all good independent health food and pharmacy stores. Always read the label.
