I will say that you don't have a blister and you don't have pain and it
works fine as long as you don't hold it so close as to cause more damage. As you notice I said without doing further damage. Susan W "Cheryl" wrote in message ... Here's a trick on burning yourself. It might not work on a severe burn but it really works on most. When you burn yourself from sticking your finger in the torch, picking up a hot rod or a big glass jump, hold the burn next to the flame as close as you can without hurting and doing further damage for 3 minutes. I really WISH people WOULD NOT POST THIS ADVICE it is NOT GOOD ADVICE - and it is DANGEROUS.. the only reason it quits hurting is you are burning it more until the NERVE ENDINGS DIE... you aren't making it any better! stop doing this!

Yes. Cold water. It stops the flesh from cooking. You need to do this or you
get a worse burn, sometimes going from one stage to another, even! ! ! ! ! But no ice. Ice can damage the already-damaged skin. (NO ICE, not even in the water.) immerse it in cool tap water. That is always the first thing I do with a major burn, find something large enough to immerse the body part in and fill it with water and a little ice. Then I keep the burned part in it for an hour or two. By the time I take it out, the worst is usually over. (depending on the burn or course....). Unless I'm working, of course, then I might forget to soak it until I finish whatever has riveted my attention to the point where I wasn't feeling the pain. ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~ A.

Oops. That's what I did with my burn. I held an ice cube on it.
