Any pointers on using incense safely ?
Here are some pointers though this is far from an exhaustive list. – Never use incense around flammable materials such as: gas cooking range, directly on top of a carpet, near synthetic clothes etc. – Always place the incense holder on a metal, glass or ceramic plate or tray large enough to catch the ash and to contain the burning incense even if accidentally tipped over. – Make sure your smoke alarm is not affected by the incense smoke – usually not. – Use extra caution if you light more than 3-4 incense sticks at a time. – Never leave home with incense left burning. – Make sure you are not allergic to a specific incense fragrance. – Keep incense (lit or unlit) in a safe area away from small kids and pets who may accidentally ingest it. See your doctor immediately if such an instance does occur. – Always wash hands after handling incense and before handling food.
