Extreme Ironing Injuries: A Guide to Ironing with Your Soul

Warning: Ironing can be hazardous to your health. Literally.

Extreme Ironing Injuries can range from minor annoyances to life-altering catastrophes.

Causes of Extreme Ironing Injuries

• 1. Temperature Control Issues (Burns from hot irons, freezes from cold fabric)
• 2. Steaming Madness (Getting scalded by steam, or worse, your pet hamster)
• 3. Pressing Pain (Exerting yourself too much, or getting your fingers pinched)

Prevention and Recovery

Preventative measures include:

• Wearing protective gear (gloves, aprons, etc.)
• Practicing ironing techniques with a soft, cuddly toy
• Having a first-aid kit on hand (including burn cream, pain relievers, and hamster CPR)

And for when things go wrong: seek medical attention, and consider a hobby other than extreme ironing.
