Another remedy used in Aussie - get a dingo to lick the burn; make sure it hasn't got rabies.

[Sqad]

ummmm/sara......well then, it has to be correct.

Dont put polythene on burns or it could stick....the only reason flozen bags dont is 'cause of the moisture surround.

it depends on the type of burn, chemical, electrical, surface contact .....

[Sqad]

[ummmm]

It's a hot water burn.

[sara3]

officially, it's a scald ;o)

[sara3]

don't worry, ummmm and I have the matter in hand, lol!

[tonyav]

Ankou, you are thinking about fire extinguishers. PMSL

[ummmm]

Yes we do...Sara is a first aider and I burn myself on regular occasions.

Definitely not fats or oil.
Cooling for at least ten minutes is important.

aloe vera is fab for burns - takes the sting and the heat right out. Everyone should have it in their fridge! http://www.lanzaloe.com/
