Answer:

Hmm.

Step-by-step explanation:

FALSE

'First-degree burns damage the outer layer (epidermis) of the skin. These burns usually heal on their own within a week.'

Basically, no, First-degree burns cannot be life-threatening.

Unless you get a First-degree burn on your heart, which is impossible.

(But then again it depends, like the amount of burns can make this true)

True?

Step-by-step explanation:

If they cover enough of your body, maybe. They can also get infected if not treated properly.
