Burn - Page 3

**snowdog** · 05/09/08, 10:58 PM

Ouch. D: I'm pleased I've never been burned that badly, it must have been awful for you all. <3

The worst I've ever had was one from work... I work in a restaurant, and the counter is a hot counter, the type where the food is on top, and it's served plate by plate by the worker rather than the chef making the meals seperately. I.e, the customer chooses what they want from what's on the counter, then the worker plates it up for them. Underneath the counter is "hot holding", where the next round of food is kept hot before it's ready to take out. It's essentially an oven.

One day it got very busy at work, so naturally, I was moving quickly, and despite usually being cautious with the oven - okay, I'm scared of it - I was being a bit careless. When going to grab this tray of baked potatoes from underneath the counter, I didn't think about the actual rack the tray was on, and managed to burn my forearm and hand. D: It hurt but I got the cream and whatnot on it quickly, so it was okay. No scarring, either. o.o

I tend to get splashes of hot water all over myself now and again but it's not usually bad.

Well, my burns are nothing compared to the ones on here.
But anyway, my worst burn was when I was straightening my hair in the back of my head, and I reached for it and accidentally placed my hand up against the hot surface of the straightening part. It blistered.
And I got a REALLLY bad sunburn the day before school started this year. My chest, shoulders, and back were all totally pink.:/

Grabbed the end of a firecracker/firework/sparkler. Yes, I've grabbed all three.

Put my entire hand on the radiator of a lawn mower. Still have a burn mark on my palm.

And, I've put both my hands on stove glass for as long as I could tolerate the pain. The answer: I tolerated it, but it hurt a ton.

Oh, and while not a burn, I've had my hair lit on fire. Which is kind of bad, as I have the white-boy afro.

It hurt ='[

When I was younger, I burned my arm on a curling iron. The top layer of my skin peeled and I had to wear this cotton makeshift "band-aid" for several weeks. I don't even think I was taken to the doctor for that O.o

Hmmm...

I once found it humorous that there was more forest fires in summer? >.>

In my twisted logic, I found it humorous because one would think one would not want to light a fire because of how warm the weather can be. Of course, I had forgotten to take in mind how dry summer is and that usually is when fires are lit and what not.

But anyway, I sympasize for you. I have only merely burned myself a few times by ill fate of accidentally touching the pots and pans I use to cook before cooling them off in cool water. It happens not that much, but either way, tis a bit bothersome. However, it could be worse, so it is not much of a nuisance, nor all that bothersome of a thing to complain about.

Sadly that is all I can think about at the moment.

I hope you have an ice pack to go to bed tonight....

i feel soooo bad for this boy at my school...here is his story

"Bob", his little brother, and his dad were all out working in the yard. Bob and his brother built a bon fire, while dad was gathering wood. Bob's little brother was walking around the ring of the bon fire (it wasnt dug into the ground) when his dog ran up and nudged him. His brother fell into the bon fire. Bob heard him screaming, and tried to help him, but he burnt his hands. Dad jumped into the bon fire and pulled out Bob's brother, and burned himself.

Conclusion: Bob has 3rd degree burns on his face and arms, Dad has the same, and Bob's brother has 3rd degree burns all over his body. He is in critical condition at a childrens hopsital, and is close to death.

i cried when i first heard it, Bob was one of my friends

I know the first post is old, but NEVER PUT A BURN IN ICE-WATER!!!!

USE ONLY COOL WATER.

Ice water will actually intensify the injury by freezing the burn, which can kill the cells trying to heal to. You don't want that, even though you think it feels better. you want cool water. it should be closer to room temperature.

Wow. These all sound so painful. D:

The worst burn I have probably gotten was when straightening my hair, and you can adjust the temperature and such when using it.
Well, somehow, I ended up being careless and it ended up slipping and clamping on my hand, when it was on about 500 degrees.

Major ouch.
