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?

The skin is our largest organ and does a LOT of work.
I don’t think I have another organ that has to deal with more damage than my skin, and that is what it’s there for.
When the skin is burned it leaves the soft squishy insides open to the outside world, allowing all kinds of infection and nasty stuff to enter the body.
