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. -- --Bryan For your safety and protection, this sig. has been thoroughly tested on laboratory animals. |

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? |

I had just never seen them so large and never in a grocery store. |

I've seen some sort of roundish cactus leaves for sale, didn't pay much attention. Jill |
