Americans Average 4,000 Cuts and Bruises in a Lifetime

A recent survey of 2,000 adults conducted by Talker Research for Curad revealed that the average American experiences around 4,000 cuts, scrapes, and bruises throughout their lifetime. The study found that more than half of respondents believe they are more prone to injuries during the summer, with distractions, clumsiness, and kitchen accidents being the top causes. Parents with children under 18 reported that their kids are even more accident-prone, especially in schoolyards, backyards, and playgrounds. Despite this, many individuals admit they are not adequately prepared for common injuries like burns, blisters, or bruises. The survey also highlighted that phones contribute to distractions, with over 80% admitting to near-misses while using their phones. (Talkerresearch)
