When commercial fishing, nicks and cuts to the hands were wrapped in duct tape. It stays on when wet.

I had to laff at that Z. My late husband was an Electrical Contractor.......When he was young and still working with the tools, nearly every day he'd come home with something wrapped in black electrical tape.
He said bandages were for weenies.

I guess we all missed the obvious.
Have your mommy put a pretty band-aid on it and kiss it all better.
LOL. The real obvious might also be to remove all the sharp instruments from the house

Hey wait... I always wanted to see if you can really cauterize a wound by pouring gunpowder in it and lighting it

Sounds more obvious to me than superglue.
The cut is still sore, but healing nicely thanks to my Care Bear Band-Aids, thank you.

The bacon & egg bandages crack me up, Fee! Reminds me of treating a kitchen burn with butter.
Come to think of it, I'm not certain whether this is an old wives' therapy or legitimate medicine...
How do you treat a burn?

The skulls are lovely. I could rock those. Not so sure about putting bacon on a cut. There are those that feel anything wrapped in bacon must be edible. (those people scare me)

Run it under cool water. Be careful not to make it too cold, you don't want ice. That could cause more damage. You do want the burning to stop though. Keep it clean and dry. Do not put butter on it. Wrap lightly in gauze if needed. Go to ER if it is severe. If the burn is bad enough to break the skin or scab up it can easily get infected so you definitely want the benefit of an ER visit. They often can give you burn creams to help it heal faster. If it cracks or bleeds during the healing process consult your doctor. You may need to get it seen. Don't pop any blisters that form. Cushion them with bandages or gauze. An ice pack applied gently with a cover around it after the burn is cleaned and wrapped can help with the pain.

Cold tap water, NOT ice. Leave open to air. If it's blistered, wrap it loosely with gauze, after you have gotten the burn to stop. Do not break the blister, do not cover with ointment.
I have pickle bandaids, too...you have a huge choice when I
