Wow, I never thought of treating a burn like that. You see my solution is to yell out as many obsenities as possible as loud as I can, followed by kicking the s#!t out of what ever burned me, always worked for me!



Don't forget about slamming the garage door that had absolutely nothing to do with the whole scene (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

also, bread!

i've also heard that if you repeatedly hit or flick the burned area (no joke), it forces blood to that spot and prevents blistering.. may hurt like hell, but so do blisters

WOW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I'll pass on that one. If anything it would increase the release of inflammatory mediators at the scene. Cooling also causes vasoconstriction, flicking the area will cause vasodilation = bad.

BUT, if anyone tries it, let us know so we can shun you and laugh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

not so sure it'd be effective with burns per se, but it is effective in preventing blistering.. like on the heel of the foot, or a finger from rubbing...

i remember where i saw it.. that dude on "Man vs. Wild"

Works for me

I wish I had know about these things when I burned my hand. I just like sat there, cursing, then put some cold water on it, but the blister already happened. That was my Jr prom too, so a blistered hand looked really healthy for my date.

Hand update picture this morning. I have no problems and the tightness is gone. The fingerprints on fingers 3.4. and 5 are gone right now but I am sure they will come back at some point.

I'm not a licensed palm-reader, and I don't play one on TV, but I think this is a better example of the "Live Long and Prosper" palm...

I think you may have found a way to exchange a burn for skin cancer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

WD-40 has 2,000 plus uses:
http://www.wd40.com/files/pdf/wd-40_2042538679.pdf

It was my secret fish attractant for the longest time. Delta stripers seem to have an appetite for it. Probably reminds them of the oil refineries around the area.

Hey Dr Evil, take notes, WD-40 cures will be in the medical board exam!

Are sure your blistered hand wasn't after the Prom when your Date didn't give it up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In response to Dr Evil, the WD-40 was not cool. It was about 80 degrees in the garage and I grabed it off the shelf. I am still baffled about the whole thing. My mother sent an email all about the uses of WD-40 but I thought it was urban legend stuff. Maybe there is some truth in it.


The WD40 was cool. At 80 degrees it was probably a 100 degrees cooler than the burning flesh. That bald kid should go to med school... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I bet he'd make a good doctor someday if he did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Naw, he'd prolly just waste all that edumacation on sex change operations.......ummmm, I mean fixing trannies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
