Abstract :
An unusual cause of burn, contact with boiling wax by children and adolescents during the annual mid-autumn festival in Hong Kong is presented. 57 patients who suffered from hot wax burn over the period 1986–1996 were admitted to the Burns Unit of the Prince of Wales Hospital. This special burn should be preventable by public education.
