Default Aloe for kitchen burns

I got a burn on my finger from grease spatter while pan frying pork
chops this evening. I should have put aloe on it right away. We have
an aloe plant in our window. I eventually did apply aloe, but it still
hurts. Right now I have a split aloe leaf, juicy side down, resting on
the burn, inside a finger cot. I don't know what substance is produced
by aloe that helps burns, but I wonder if that substance is produced in
greater concentrations by aloe leaves that have been subjected to
intense sunlight, as a protective for the plant against UV damage, and
whether the wimpy aloe plant that we have in a west window might not
contain a high concentration of that healing substance.

Bad idea. You'd have been better off as part of the UK. <spit>

Same thing in a north window when I was married.
I notice they sell large aloe leaves in the produce section of my
grocery store. Just leaves, not plants.

They must be edible too?

People eat them. They shouldn't, but they do. They're not good for
you, and they don't taste good.

They had giant aloe leaves at the grocery store where I bought the ribs.
Aloe leaves can get giant.

Aloe. I recognized them plus they were labeled aloe. I had just never
seen them so large and never in a grocery store.

Okay. I can't say I've ever seen aloe in the produce department at the
stores around here. I've seen some sort of roundish cactus leaves for
sale, didn't pay much attention.
