Strange as it sounds that cures a lot of ailments.
In Vietnam they always said that if a guy passes out from heat exhaustion and you didn't have any water handy, to pee on him. All over his head ![]() |

Cool water poured over the burn as quickly as possible is by far the best way to stop the pain and reduce blistering.

Honey applied to the broken skin will prevent infection. Just don't go near any bees!

I grew up working outside on farms and doing stupid stuff. I learned a lot from the old timers. Like if you got a cut you better go find a pine tree and put some sap on it.
Glad the hand is ok. |

Yow, Tom!
Egg whites... sterile, lots of collagen and it dries to a protective bandage. I've seen it work on a scald where the skin came off. Yuck. -Chuck

It's OK Tom, I had an "argument" with my electric hedge clippers back in May and they won! Nothing serious that 7 stitches couldn't cure. Sometimes the instinct to move overrides the instinct to think about it before you move. Heal well.

Tom, as has been mentioned several times here... watch for signs of infection and take the action needed. Scars are part of the auto hobby, so although not pretty too look at they do happen.
Stupid? I don't think so.. though I am sure if feels that way now. As Leo said " Sometimes the instinct to move overrides the instinct to think about it before you move." IMHO that does not equal stupid, just survival instinct. Heal quickly, we need your expertise. |
