We have heard a lot about fireworks and its dangers.
We are constantly informed of the powder magazines that explode in various parts of the national territory, with special emphasis on Tultepec and Guanajuato.
Perhaps we have our own experiences close to fire, as children from playing with rockets. This same end of the year, the tragedy stagnates in what seems like child’s play: thundering rockets.
Xavier Tello, a surgeon and public health policy analyst, shared his experience from 34 years ago, when in 1988 there were no campaigns against the use of gunpowder devices on patron saint festivities, or on the traditional September 15 and December festivities. .
And believe it, it is not pleasant at all.
“On January 1, 1988, I began my Internship at the IMSS hospital in Ensenada.
“Hot, as I am, I signed up for the first 24-hour shift from Friday to Saturday in the operating room
“In that guard, in addition to an appendix, we amputated 31 fingers between adults and children.
“All for fireworks.”

If you still think that fireworks are a game thing, let’s do a brief review of the last week:
- They capture a fireworks explosion in the Durango market
- In Veracruz, one dead and two children seriously injured on New Year
- They ask for support to find a rescue dog who fled scared by the fireworks
- For a cigarette, fireworks burn in the Pachuca market
- In TJ, neighbors set fire to a house for burning rockets and a 12-year-old boy dies of suffocation
- “Get out of the car!” Palm tree catches fire in Azcapotzalco due to rocket spark
And why do we keep digging for him.
For something, the Ministry of the Environment (Sedema) asked citizens not to burn fireworks, tires, garbage or light bonfires during the New Year’s Eve festivities, to avoid the generation of high levels of contamination and a possible atmospheric environmental contingency.
Carrying out activities such as burning fireworks or bonfires cause the spread of extremely small toxic particles that, due to their size, can reach the alveoli or even the brain, deteriorating health,” he said in a statement.
