Several users criticised the woman, with one commenting, “The main reason behind this disaster is, she used the water boiler which has a wider opening as we can see. Others used flask, whose mouth is narrow.” Another user wrote, “Omg what a Silly silly. Person.”

“Why would you try it again? Once is a mistake. Twice is just plain stupidity!!” another user reacted.

According to a report in Newsweek, several people were hospitalised during the 2019 winter in Canada. Arthur Sanford, a burn surgeon at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, shared that he had seen seven patients with blistering burns, one of whom was only three years old.
