On thanksgiving a man was deep frying a turkey in an outdoor fryer. He dropped a frozen turkey into the tub of boiling hot water which in turn caught fire and "exploded" all over him. His arms and chest were badly burned, with painful blisters covering both arms from shoulder to fingers. His forehead is red and tender but not blistered, and his chest and abdomen are pale gray-white in color with little to no swelling or pain. Doctor's are concerned about infection, dehydration and body temperature.
