why do some burn victims die months after being exposed to the fire?

451 views

I was reading about some burn victims from summer fires in Greece, and some succumbed to their burns more than 3 months after they were originally exposed to the flames. Shouldn’t they be in the clear at that point given burn wounds heal over time?

Alot of people don’t think about it like this but think of what happens to a piece of pork or chicken when u put it on a searing hot pan, that meat is now cooked and changed its not the same anymore, when u have severe burns ur flesh is cooked its cells are basically destroyed so it can take forever to repair sometimes with the aid of treatments and even then sometimes it just can’t go back to normal and the infection from the cooked flesh kills you

If u get a simple cut the cells around there are still living so if the wound can be shut or if its thin enough ur body can heal itself
