- perl4ever 7y agoSure, but I was referring to a spill. If I spill hot water on myself, I don't expect the consequences to be the same as being immersed in it at constant temperature. Both because the time is short and it cools as it falls and spatters. I mean, I have spilled boiling water on myself occasionally and I don't think I got third degree burns. Although maybe I'm just comfortably numb.
