i just got an email about burns and it said when you get burned to splash cold water on the burn and then separate two egg whites from the yolks and spread that all over the burned area and do it more than once if the burn is very bad and that will form a dried layer on your skin. i guess you leave it on the burn as long as you can and the email said it would heal quickly and leave no scar. it said this is taught to fireman as a first type of treatment they could do if they have the egg whites handy.
