Several doctors in Detroit are dismayed by the recurring queries teenagers burned after a game of combining salt with ice.

As shown in the attached video, young placed on their extremities salt, ice and then pressed until the tissues are broken and there is only a hole.

The salt lowers the freezing temperature of the ice dramatically to 17 degrees below zero causing serious burns.
