Have a safe Fourth of July
Hope you're enjoying your Fourth so far, and that you've scoped out yesterday's Tip Sheet for some places to watch the fireworks with your kids.
That's the happy part. The not-so-great part is that kids are often injured by fireworks on the Fourth of July. I was surprised to learn that for kids under the age of 5, a third of all fireworks injuries come from ordinary sparklers, which can burn at nearly 2,000 degrees.
That information comes from the American Academy of Opthalmology, which has released an information sheet with safety tips for the Fourth. I hope they'll help you and yours stay injury-free.
