I like that handy idea.

Thanks for the tip. I'd never heard it before.

It is definitely worth a try. Burns hurt bad!

Worth a try....if ever needed! Thanks for sharing

According to my first aid class, you should never put ice or running water on a burn because the added pressure can exacerbate the damage to the skin. Instead, soak the affected area in cool water.

And most important, never use any kind of oil based product on a burn!

Thanks, worth a try!

If you through flour on a fire it ignites. It is fun to see the puff go up, worked in a pizza place, Manager would get bored. His way of having fun. So the vietnam story is WAY off base.

Love home remedies. For beestings my mom used to mix somthing like baking soda and Lemon? then put it on the sting. Worked wonders. wish i knew what that little concoction was, could use it on my kids.

Great idea!!

Great idea!!

How strange. I burned the top of my hand some time ago, about a second degree burn I'd guess, and was hurting far too much to get my keys and go to ER, so grabbed some MSM powder I had setting out and put it on my burn after running my hand quickly through running water. It healed with no scar, only a tiny off color on one finger, but since I'm 77 it doesn't even show. I thought it was due to the MSM but also might have been due to the drying power of the powder.

I'll keep this in mind and share it with others. Might be a darn good idea for campers and back packers too.

Interesting!
