This might be a strange question, but...is there any way to play safely and protect the skin from burns and if obtaining burns, how to avoid infections, when engaging in activities that might produce a burn? I truly do not want to go into detail, but if someone who is experienced in burn related activities would like to email me, I would appreciate it.

I am talking about a very specific play activity. Thanks in advance.

So you're interested in fire play and safety.

Fire, heat, sparks, and such normally never stay in once place. These bruning agents are typicaly always moving along the skin. Most fires started on the body or doused out in less than a second lasting only long enough for you to see flame on the body before it can burn.

If and when a burn happens, well, that's what your near by first aid kit is for. You should never play with anyone who does not have there own first aid kit and know how to use it. Antibiotic cream, burn cream, bandaging, and wound cleanser is all normally need followed up with mederma if you're worried about scares. For anything worse that minor burns, there's 911 and your local ER.

I keep a cold wet towel nearby when doing fireplay. Not only will it instantly extinguish an unwanted fire, it's soothing to burned skin - pulls the heat right out.

Also second the first aid kit/lessons idea.
