Grease burn

[PrincessFiona60]

Great idea! Would Ambisol (for mouth pain) work as well on skin?

You would be better off to get a bottle of the Aloe Solarcaine to keep for small burns. But, do not put on anything that will seal the burn...that just holds the heat in and does not allow the burn to breath, it needs oxygen.

If you suspect more than a first degree burn, please!!!! Go have it seen by a doctor!

Princess, thanks so much for your advise. You were right on. The cool water did work better and I did take the full amount of the tylenol 3. I was able to sleep and the pain is mostly gone today. I am very groggy this morning so I don't think I am going to drive for a little while.
For the record, at the time of the burn I was hurting so much that I couldn't think what to do except to ask people who habitually work with hot oil and who would therefore have some experience with this kind of burn. I know that no one on this site is or should be responsible for such things but I do very much appreciate the help and concern of everyone here. Thanks so much.

Here's some good information from Snopes about burns, how to treat at home and which ones to seek medical attention for. Based on what you've said thus far, I'd recommend seeing a doctor ASAP. The risk of infection is high.

I keep a bottle of Aloe jell on hand at all times. It works like a champ.

Since the burn is not blistered afte 30 hours I guess it must be a first degree burn, Thankfully. I have already stated that I don't have any aloe in the house but thanks for the advice. You guys are always so helpful...in any circumstance.

Sounds like you need to take it easy! A day of vegging in front of the tv with lots of good chick flicks on DVD and heal up!

Oh no!!! Definitely time for a rest. I hope you heal soon, take the pain medicine, just don't go driving anywhere and stay away from hot oil, ladders and black cats.

t hanks guys, actually having a black caat would be a good thing. Dh hates them, I love them. I'm almost hoping for mice in the new house so I have a good excuse to get a cat. Maybe I should ask for one for my anniversary next week. It would be a cheap gift when we are a bithouse poor just now. I am trying to rest but you can only sleep so long.

Feet up in front of the TV...enslave any children to tote snacks from the shiny kitchen.

 

[joesfolk]

we haven't moved into the house with the shiny kitchen yet...too much paqinting to do on the place. thats why i was up on the ladder. Im ging to work at the house tonight because we have a friend coming to help. but i am goig to sit on my biggest part and wash woodwork and take a break whenever i get the least bit tired.

Wow! If you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all from the sound of things. Just try to take it slow and easy and hope that all the mishaps are done. Hope you're feeling back to normal very soon.
