Once the water is running it typically holds a constant temperature
(unless someone flushes a toilet etc.) ice water can be too cold,
causing the potential of tissue death. ice water can also warm up
above an effective cooling temperature.

You can do whatever it takes to relieve the pain, running water, ice
water, I treated a person that poured a gallon of milk on a burn as it
was all they had close, the recommeded treatment is cold running water
until the pain is relieved. There is discussion between 10 minutes
minimum or 20 minutes minimum but as long as you get pain relief and
stop the heating of the surrounding tissues the treatment is
effective.

Unfortunately there is a portion of the population that thinks if cold
water is good then ice water is better and if ice water is better then
ice is even more better but they fail to think far enough ahead to
realize that ice causes frostbite which can be worse than their
initial superficial burn.

Water Jel Burn Jel. It is available in 4 oz. bottles and also squeeze
packets. Keep some in the kitchen and a packet in the toolbox or any other
place that you may get a burn. Best stuff I've ever used.

I agree with the other aloe posters. It needs to be from the plant, though,
not the bottled stuff.

Big Brother is a chef. He had a terrible burn caused by serious stupidity.
Doc gave him Silvadine (sp?). The stuff is a wonder for burns. The only
hitch is that it's prescription. If you have a good doc and you tend to get
burns somewhat often--serious or minor--it might be a good option.

What's so ****ing great about Optimum On Line, friggin' totally useless Lung
Guyland cable. duh

I had an Optimum On Line acct on Lung Guyland from the moment it was available
until the day I left... used it strictly for it's high speed access (even had
one of their silly little keyboards [a la webtv] but it wasn't worth a shit
otherwise so I continued using my AOL over it.... I do the same exact thing
where I live now, I pay Mid Hudson Cable for high speed access but I continue
to use AOL over it. Over the years I've tried them all, even a dumb freebie
library acct, even stupid Verizon DSL... compared to AOL they are all pikers,
ALL AOL WANNABEES! Only reason you, and *all* others, don't use AOL over your
cable for a measly extra $15/mo. is because you are afflicted with _CHRONIC
CHEAP ******* DISEASE_!

It's wierd to hear all the dumb ****s with their fercocktah rinky-dink obscure
ISPs knocking AOL, just because they each and every one of em can't resist
broadcasting how they are a *CHEAP ********.

sheldon, i've read many of your posts and some of them are pretty damn good.
others are opinionated to put it mildly. i put a little thought into this
and i've come to the conclusion that you have new and rare disorder that i'm
in the process of discorvering. it's called "cyber tourette's". it's
characterized by a seemingly normal people who uncontrollably post profane

cyber tourette's. ;-)

As far as I can recall, some pineapple juice and several other things.
This was "snack" food on a hotel's happy hour buffet.

Neat! :-)
I love to do Kebabs on the grill.
I've never done it with emu tho' as it's easy
to overcook it.

I generally roast the bird whole
in the BBQ with the hide on to keep it moist.

And no, I'm not kidding. An 8 to 10 month old emu
is still small enough to fit inside my smoker.

Interesting -- about 33 years ago, I got a nasty burn by backing into
a propane stove; actually pulled a layer of skin away. At the hospital,
the put a mustard pack on it. I don't remember if it helped the pain or
not, but I don't have a scar now.

Then again, that was a long time ago...

Sounds like they were preparing to insert a weiner between your toasted buns.

If it didn't hurt you musta liked it.

Ahahahahaha. . . .

Actually, it was my arm that was burned -- I forgot to mention that. I
had my hands behind my back, trying to warm them (very cold morning).
But I can see how "buns" would be a logical conclusion.

The burn certainly hurt, I just don't remember if the mustard pack
helped it...

We, my wife and I, have a few pots of Aloe (?Vera) plants here and
there. One is nearby the kitchen. I do all the cooking and, klutz that us
men are, will occasionaly get some part of my body, usually hands, mostly
the digits, scalded, grilled, roasted, fried, or in some way burned.
My immediate first aid is to remove whatever is feeling pain from
whatever is causing it including wiping off any oil or grease. (BTW, a slice
of bread works better there than a paper towel.) From there, I cut off a
stem of the Aloe close down by the trunk, lay it out on a piece of waxed
paper, and use the round handle from a wooden spoon to smoosh out about an
inch or two of the gooey stuff inside the Aloe stem -- more if the burned
area is larger than usual -- starting from the cut end.
I slather the gooey stuff over the burned area as thick as I can. It
ain't pretty, but in my case relief is nearly instantaneous! Then I go to
work pressing out the rest of the Aloe gel from the stalk to keep it at
hand. When I feel some discomfort on the burned area, I smear on some more
gel.
My worst case was a splash of boiling water across the entire front of
my left leg. By the time I got the Aloe spread on, I could feel the first
stages of true shock setting in. It took three stalks of Aloe for the first
application. The stuff the emergency room doctor smeared on didn't relieve
the pain nearly as well. When I got home a couple hours later, I washed his
stuff off and put Aloe on again -- felt lots better.
Keep in mind, I'm not talking about some drug store product that claims
to have Aloe, I'm talking about the raw stuff right out of the plant. The
thicker the better.
It worked on my wife's sunburn last summer, also.

If you don't have access to an Aloe plant, many healthfood stores carry
pure Aloe in a bottle. It works very nearly as well as the stuff from
the live plant. As Casey said, don't mistake lotions and creams
"containing Aloe" for the real thing.

Generally, it is ingested. Nothing works better for pain. Of course,
the side effects can be a problem.

The best way to remedial any burns is to put it under the tap with cold water
(the colder the better) for 5-10 minutes depending on the degree of burnt.

It's like an old man, who unfortunately has to return to diapers for the
occasional mishap. After a while he starts to defend the spongy sag
protruding from his trousers - "But they're *so* functional - you're all
idiots for not wearing them!!"

AOL is like training wheels without the bike...

Smoking a joint is safer, and I've heard it's good for pain too... ;-)
