4th Of July Sparklers Are Too Dangerous For Kids, Try Bubbles Doctors Say

Via Daily Caller:

America’s doctors are warning that the use of sparklers on the Fourth of July is just too darn dangerous for your children.

To avoid the risk of injury, you should give your kids bubbles, glow sticks and pom-poms to play with this Independence Day. Those things are safer and almost just as fun.

Sparkler injuries lead to 1,900 emergency visits each year in the United States (pop.: 321.4 million), according to Providence, Rhode Island NBC affiliate WJAR.

“They’re actually not so benign,” Dina Burstein of the Injury Prevention Center at Rhode Island Hospital told WJAR. “And I think what people don’t realize is that they actually burn at a very high temperature — up to 2,000 degrees — so that’s the equivalent of what a blow torch would be at.”

Not very surprisingly, the most typical sparkler injuries are burns, Burstein added — “very commonly to the hands, often to the face, injuries to the eyes.”

The doctor helpfully suggests using “things like pom-poms and glow sticks” instead of sparklers to celebrate America’s independence. Bubbles and noisemakers are other good substitutes, Burstein said.

The doctor must be a gynecologist. Seems he wants to turn kids into pussies. That's right, keep raising kids in bubble wrap and they'll grow up totally helpless liberal snowflakes. I mean bubbles? Really? Is he nuts? What's next with these leftist's, kids with no gender? Oh wait, dammit, too late. C'mon doc, everything is dangerous. Especially liberals who try to kill everything that's fun, entertaining, educational and patriotic. We rode bikes without helmets, drank water out of a garden hose, even played a dangerous game of JARTS, and yet somehow we have survived for these many years and made it to adulthood. Yep, survived these many years without libtards trying to protect us from ourselves because they think we are too stupid to know what is best for us. Fireworks are only dangerous if handled improperly, like this idiot:

Hey doc, FU! Enjoy those sparklers and fireworks kids. Happy 4th!
