Burn

[Ninja Usagi]

My brother made home made caramel (considering it isn't hard. it's only sugar and water really freaking hot)

._. I wanted to see if it was hot or not.

I got a 2nd degree burn on the tip of my index finger that told me that it was.

^Ouch, NU! I've done the same thing while we were boiling cinnamon candy for candied apples. I'll never try that again. >.>

In my experience, putting ice on the burn or keeping it in cold water just makes the pain worse when your burn is actually away from said ice/water, so you end up with this whole dependency thing where if there's no ice/water present, the burn hurts more then if you just weaned yourself off of it and dealt with the pain.

Which is EXACTLY what happened to me. I had to uncomfortably lay in bed with my arm hovering over a bowl of ice water...hoping I wouldn't knock it over if I fell asleep, and when the pain would overcome me I'd dip it in the water to temporarily relieve the pain once more...and this cycle continued until about 7AM when I finally gave up and passed out in sleep.

Today I look and the worst part of the burn is my index finger...which is like a purpley-black O-o

._. I was in a grease fire when I was 14, only my foot and leg got 3rd and 2nd degree burns though. It was pretty much hell since I had blisters and had to go to the hospital and do rehab stuff like moving my foot around and walking and this other thing called whirlpool that hurt a lot. I was out of school for like 3 months and my foot never really got it's color back but there is skin there now it's just lighter than it was before.

...
Ouch.

I always hear burn pains are the worst of the worst, and that the pain burn victims in like burn centers from like car wrecks and housefires have the most intolerable screams of pain heard by man x___x

Because they have to treat the wound in such a painful way...by cleaning and doing skin grafts and replacing them everyday....jeez.

Burns are the kind of pain where they sometimes have to put you in a coma just so that you don't go insane from pain.

Hmmmm...just wondering have you ever frozen your hand after getting your hand burned and yeah I burned my hand when I accidently touched a hotdog on a grill, carelessy. XD Learned my lesson.

My burns have been pretty minor, i remember fighting with my cousin once and he hit me on the side of my face with the edge of an iron that was heating up. It left a good scar but in about 3 weeks the skin peeled and another week the skin was back to normal.

I remember my mom told me about her cousin back in the day, who liked playing with fire and always got her in trouble for stupid stuff. My uncle and that cousin were in a house and her mother left while the oven was doing a self clean. It was an old fashioned oven and she opened it and the fire engulfed her. I dont remember how she got the fire out but supposedly my uncle walked a few blocks with her to my Grandmothers home (This is Bronx, New York my family lives pretty close together in these neighborhoods), and they quickly got her to the hospital. Her burns where so bad that her clothes had to practically be peeled of because her skin had melted with it. My mom told me that before she died it was church day and she talked about what everyone was wearing and such. She was accurate about everybody and after that well.....you know......the irony is that she liked playing with fire and then died from it. My mother also told me one time when she was asleep, something kept pulling her covers back and she kept pulling them back up. When she woke up she told her cousin to stop.......but no one was there, she was dead after all.

kinda creepy, but that's what she said happened

That reminds me of a song...I wish I could remember which one, though... :/

The worst thing about my accident was the fact that the candy had sort of molded onto my burned finger, almost like cooling lava. X__X

Although I do like playing with fire, I rarely get burned.

The only time I can really remember was when I touched a really hot plate, but was to hungry to put it down. Yeah, that's about it.

Think I might have burned my finger on a grill once, but that was a long time ago so I can't quite remember.

I've only burned my tongue on hot food before. Never my actual skin. However, my brother (whe he was a little kid) decided to touch my mom's curling iron (which was on & very, very hot) just to see if it was actually hot. Yea, he learned curling irons are extremely hot that day. Then, last year, he was getting something out of the oven while talking on the phone, and the pan he was getting out started to fall, so he grabbed the pan w/ his other hand (which didn't have an oven mitt on it; he had the phone between his shoulder & his face) & he burnt his hands pretty bad. He refused to put anything on ti, though.

Although I haven't had anythign severs I have had just about every restaurant accident happen for burning and cutting (luckily I didn't cut anything off. )

I've burnt myself with hot water, steam, pans, grills, hot food, fire, electricity. and our industrial strenght diswahser uses this hgly corrosive soap that if you get it on you hand in its natural state it starts burning your skin.

Just today I decided to make fried mushrooms I got from Aldi...

._. freaking shelf thingy in the oven is hard to get out and my finger slipped from the heat thingys so I wouldn't burn my hand. Rawr.

A steam iron fell on my hand when I was 7, wasn't very pleasant when it hit me and I still have the scar.

[trazin]

yeh my uncle was messing around with fire and burned part of his cheek he still has a small scar to remnd him of it.

[Sir Schmoopy]

In scouts they tell us that if you submerge it in ice in kills all the skin cells, which is bad.

Aloe and Oxycodone my friend.
