Strange as it sounds that cures a lot of ailments.

In Vietnam they always said that if a guy passes out from heat exhaustion and you didn't have any water handy, to pee on him. All over his head:eek: I've also heard it is a cure for jellyfish stings.
 
Cool water poured over the burn as quickly as possible is by far the best way to stop the pain and reduce blistering.
 
I grew up working outside on farms and doing stupid stuff. I learned a lot from the old timers. Like if you got a cut you better go find a pine tree and put some sap on it.
Glad the hand is ok.
 
A friend of mine was a state representative . We had a haunted trail at our local fair grounds Afterwards we had a camp fire, We had a kerosene can (plastic 5 gallon) He emptied it out on the fire and threw the can in, Someone hollered that's my can, What's he do next he kicks the can out with his shoed foot but had shorts on You can imagine what happened next BURNS BURNS but he helps run our state
 
Oh sorry Tom, hot or liquid plastic burns hurt.. I burned my finger as a kid with liquid plastic... was like lava and it had to be cut out... get well soon.
 
That sucks tom. Nasty stuff plastic burns are, hands being a concern for sure. Heal well.
 
Tom, Our family Naturopathic Medicine Dr. said to grate a potato and spread it on the skin.:eek: We have done it and it works and heals real nicely.No blistering or scars . If there is another time give it a try. Who would have thought.:rolleyes:
 
Yow, Tom!
Egg whites... sterile, lots of collagen and it dries to a protective bandage. I've seen it work on a scald where the skin came off. Yuck. -Chuck
 
Tom, we ALL do stupid things

just remember, you cant fix stupid, but you can muffle it with duct tape..........!
 
It's OK Tom, I had an "argument" with my electric hedge clippers back in May and they won! Nothing serious that 7 stitches couldn't cure. Sometimes the instinct to move overrides the instinct to think about it before you move. Heal well.
 
Tom, as has been mentioned several times here... watch for signs of infection and take the action needed. Scars are part of the auto hobby, so although not pretty too look at they do happen.
Stupid? I don't think so.. though I am sure if feels that way now. As Leo said " Sometimes the instinct to move overrides the instinct to think about it before you move." IMHO that does not equal stupid, just survival instinct. Heal quickly, we need your expertise.
