While candles can create a cozy ambiance, healthcare providers say that the negative impact on health is often overhyped. The biggest concern is the risk of starting a fire, which can lead to burns or even death. Some candles may contain lead wicks or carcinogenic dyes, and certain individuals may be allergic to fragrances emitted from candles. Additionally, combining aerosolized sprays or nail polish remover with candles can be dangerous. Burn injuries can range from first-degree burns to third-degree burns, which often require surgery and can have long-term consequences. LED candles and candles within enclosures are safer alternatives. In the event of a fire, it is important to have working smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, and to prioritize personal safety.

However, it's important to use the correct amount of salt to avoid difficulties in lighting the candle or dimming the flame.
