All good ideas.... This one came from a Vietnam vet, Take plain old flour, put it in a bag and stick you hand in it for at least 10 min. (this may be for the time it happened) This was used in Vietnam for burn, of most any kind. The lady that tried this had a scald ed hand. After 10 min. she took her hand out and the hand was not red or anything and it never blistered, no pain. You can use this also if some one gets burned with fire. DO NOT RUN COLD WATER OVER IT! I got this from an e-mail.
