A European visitor got third-degree burns on his feet while briefly walking barefoot on the sand dunes in California's Death Valley National Park over the weekend, park rangers said Thursday.Because of language issues, the rangers said they were not immediately able to determine whether the 42-year-old Belgian's flip-flops were somehow broken or were lost at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes during a short Saturday walk.
During the summer, many patients from Nevada and parts of California go to the center with contact burns such as the ones the Belgian man suffered. A man from Belgium who suffered third-degree burns on his feet at the sand dunes in California's Death Valley National Park was rushed to the hospital over the weekend, park rangers said. July is the hottest month of the year at the park.
Thermal injuries from hot surfaces like sidewalks, patios and playground equipment are also common in Arizona's Maricopa County, which encompasses Phoenix.
