A study in Kenya found that 10% of adult burn admissions are caused by chemicals—a statistic that becomes even more concerning when you consider how commonly chemicals are used in our daily lives.

In this episode, we share the story of a woman who survived a chemical explosion caused by mixing the wrong substances. Her experience isn’t shared for shock value. It’s shared to highlight a reality many people face: handling chemicals with little or no safety training, unaware of how quickly things can go wrong.
