Whats good for burns ..

[pericat]

if you have nothing specific in the house - is there any everyday household stuff that can be used ?

[ummmm]

I always thought that you shouldn't put anything on burns.

[pericat]

No bicarb but I have sudocrem - i will try that thanks china -

[pericat]

i clicked into the 'getting the burnt bits off' thread in food & drink but that was no use to me

[sara3]

you really do need to keep it in cold water, or try the frozen peas thing (wrap the bag in a tea towel first).

I know I look stupid but I am a (lapsed) first aider!

[ummmm]

No creams...They keep the heat in.

[pericat]

you dont sara - you are always very sensible - will strap the peas on for a while before I go - but I cant bring them with me really

Not unless you fancy dunking your foot in a bucket of Napisan no Peri.

joking aside, i feel for you, burns bloody hurt eh? Good luck getting a shoe on something that more than likely resembles a flipper by now.

salted ice water. The salt cauterises and water re-hydrates the skin.....will prevent blistering too.

Now. where's that sqad to correct me....................oh yes, he's been banned - I knew you girls needed him.

[B00]

he's been banned? No way, what for?

Not a massive fan of the guy, but he didn't say anything bad did he?

[pericat]

ok iced peas on foot - tambo - can i just sprinkle salt over it ?

[ummmm]

Sqads been banned?

I only went to do the dishes...

[tamborine]

mix the salt with the iced water......dafty!

[rabbitygirl]

Lavender oil. Neat. Amazing results.

[pericat]

i have lavender oil somewhere - great

[B00]

pmsl @ thought of Peri with a wet foot liberally sprinkled with salt.

[Sqad]

B00....." Not a massive fan of the guy".....I am truly gutted.

Ice cold water or bag of peas from the freezer.

[B00]

Oh pfft sqad, you don't like me either ;-)

That being said, i wouldn't want you removed from the site.

Peri, how's the flipper looking now?

[Bbbananas]

Banned? Surely not methought? Not again. If so, I would seriously think about protesting.... Not over the internet dating thingy?
Anyway - here I was, about to protest, when here he popped up.

I always have good dose of haggis and poetry on Burns Night.

[Sqad]

BOO...you are so wrong.....I do indeed like you.

[tamborine]

or......really olde wives remedy::::::::::::::::piss on burns.

Hi sqad.....see how they need you?
