Whats good for burns ..

[pericat]

if you have nothing specific in the house - is there any everyday household stuff that can be used ?

[another-view]

Sure. Candles, hot irons and ovens are all good for burns.

[sara3]

what kind of burn? if you can, you need to immerse it in cold water for at least 10 mins. are you okay?

[sara3]

another-view, shame on you, lol!

[pericat]

will i bother re-phrasing myself ? lol

Oddly enough i found putting my hand in warm water helped the pain a bit when i burnt my hand on the oven last week. It stings like buggery at first, but soon eases off.

peri, have you got any germolene.

[pericat]

Im of sara - i stupidly burnt my toes - I was in the bath and turn the hot tap on and put my foot under it (our thermostat needs fixing so water is lethal) - anyway I could not put my foot in the bath for the duration and had an ice pop strapped to it - getting out of the bath was interesting. Now the foot is throbbing

[pericat]

meant to read Im ok sara

[ummmm]

I just sat with a bag of frozen peas on mine. I had to go to the hospital in the end though.

[pericat]

BOO - you're braver than me
no germolene tony - any old wives remedies at all ? that work

[pericat]

dont think Im a hospital case ummmm - but Im going out in an hour and have to wear decent shoes

[sara3]

if you get a blister bigger than a 10p (ish) you'll have to go to the docs.

[ummmm]

Frozen peas ...

Isnt smearing butter on it supposed to work? Actually, do that anyway, it'd be cool to see if you can make the butter hiss!

[pericat]

i order you all to stop laughing at my stupidity

[sara3]

BOO, I think that's a no-no.. even just for your entertainment!

[pericat]

that wont work BOO - i only have margarine

[China Doll]

You could put the butter and the peas on and have a snack afterwards.... Or alternatively, do you have any sudocream? That'd probably help.

[tonyav]

peri, if you have any bicarbonate soda handy, make a paste up using the bicarb soda mixed with cold water. that should take the sting out of the burn.

Honestly, all my fun gets ruined, spoilsports :-(
