	Burn (injury) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, a burn is a type of injury to the skin caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, or radiation (an example of the latter is sunburn).
		Serious burns, especially if they cover large areas of the body, can cause death; any hint of burn injury to the lungs, for example through smoke inhalation, is a medical emergency.
		Electrical burns are generally symptoms of electric shock, being struck by lightning, being defibrillated or cardioverted without conductive gel, etc. The internal injuries sustained may be disproportionate to the size of the "burns" seen - as these are only the entry and exit wounds of the electrical current.
