Dances with the Moon Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I can't believe I did this. I put a steel pan with a handle in the oven to cook my dinner, used 2 pot holders to remove the pan, then proceeded to grab the handle with my bare hand. Duh Does anyone have any suggestions besides holding an ice pack in my hand? I'm not used to burning myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaye Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Did you run it under the cold tap? Put some burn cream on it. I hate pans with metal handles. We have some, and I once left one on the stove (which was still on) and my sister pick it up and burned her hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yikes, burns SUCK!! The trick is to run cold water from the tap on it, but if it's a large burn, then Jaye has the right idea putting some burn cream on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveryNerveAware Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 If you have an aloe plant, break off a big piece and squeeze the juice over the burn. That's the best remedy I've found for burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushian King Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I could be mistaken but I believe the correct method to use cold water is to not place the burn under while the water's running. If possible you fill a sink with water and place your burn in it. I guess it hurts less if the water is standing still rather than having it move over a sensitive area. An aloe plant is good to have around. Otherwise there are creams, etc. that minimize pain and blistering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Submerge in cold water with ice, and if it starts to blister you really should get medical attention. Poor you. Hope it feels better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances with the Moon Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks everyone I appreciate your thoughts and concerns. My first reaction was to run the cold tap water. I have galley kitchen so it was convienient. A couple of hours later, after my initial shock I remembered my Ocean Potion I bought a couple of years ago for a bad sunburn. (light skin, not a sun worshiper) Anyways, it contains Aloe Vera, Lidocaine, and Tea Tree. I started feeling better right away. I'm down to one dime size blister and one pea size blister. I guess I was a little too freaked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-D-RocK- Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Remember next time to perform a JHA - Job Hazard Analysis - before doing any tasks at work or at home. Thought I'd share, I get safety tidbits shoved in my face everyday when I'm at work, it's a pain in the ass but it does pay off. Getting injured sucks.
