[TheForge] Cure for a bad burn?

[Saint Phlip]

What that will do is dry it up and put more crap in it, so that if you
DO go to the Dr, they'll hafta debride it deeper than they'd prefer-
at a great expense in pain to you.

First Aid for any closed burn is to immerse it in cold water. \Even
open burns are to be covered with a sterile (if possible) cloth and
cold water applied, (the cloth is there to prevent tissue being washed
away).

If you want something that REALLY works on burns, get your Dr to give
you a prescription for Silvadene.

That stuff is wonderful. I tested it a couple years ago, when I had
managed to get more or less matching nasty burns on both hands (I was
teaching, ands I grabbed to prevent the kid for getting a bad burn, so
I figured I'd test the stuff. I put the Silvadene on one burn (the
worst of the two) and just used cold water and cussing on the other
one. The one with the silvadene healed in half the time. I now keep it
handy at all times, despite the need to get a Dr to prescribe it for
me.
