Chemical burns are also an evolving pathology, with thousands of new chemicals added to the market each year (4). Since 2000, both assault and warfare with chemical weapons have increased, although these pathologies vary based on practice location (1). For instance, chemical burns can comprise up to 14% of burns in the developing world, compared to 3% in the US and Europe (2, 5). It is therefore important to understand your local chemical burn patterns, in much the same way providers learn local patterns of antibiotic resistance.
