IDK if "third degree" chemical burns are a thing.
Cement will dissolve the fat from under your skin, and a third degree burn is when you cook the fat under your skin.
Also it's not going to burn you within a few minutes the way we normally think of a chemical burn.
The "degree" is based on the amount of damage done to flesh, bone, and skin. Each type of burn has different criteria, so yes, a third degree chemical burn will be different from a third degree flame burn, which will in turn be different than a third degree steam burn.
Bullshit.
If you have a coherent rebuttal, I'm happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.
I had a quick look at this which basically says that you're right and I'm wrong.
Additionally, it lists sunburn as an example of a radiation burn, which is kinda neat.
How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn't happen fast enough to cause that damage?
Let me use your vernacular.
Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)
That's not what I said at all.
