3rd degree burns involve charring, I find it hard to believe 136 degree water would even blister, hell, people LIVE where it gets nearly that hot all day (assuming that Fahrenheit is the correct scale)...

Old definition, Axe, and the same one I was taught. Charring is no longer required for 3rd degree, just damage in the hypodermis that is permanent.
As always, treat burn victims for shock, and push fluids.

Believe it. 136 can take the skin right off.
