Interesting facts
Watch VideosSkin is our first layer of defense. So if you get a burn, you lose that defense and you're more susceptible to infections in that area. And a fun fact is that if you start your infection 24 to 48 hours after your initial burn, then it's probably a Staphylococcus species that has infected you. But if it happens five to seven days after your initial burn, it's just part of your normal skin flora and they just got in your burn and that helps doctors determine which antibiotics they can give you.
