| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28783570 United States11/30/2012 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I coat each nugget individually as I place them in the shallow oil in my skillet. As the pan gets full of nuggets, I'm having to nudge them around to make room for additional pieces. By that point, my fingers are thickly coated with the breading thanks to the eggs. I never feel the heat of the oil as I stick my fingers in to nudge pieces around to make more room. So ... while I'm not entirely sure if plain flour is the best medically for treating and preventing burns of any degree ... I can see where it could possibly be true based on my above experience when making chicken nuggets. With any serious burns, I would still follow up with a doctor or hospital visit to make sure there are no unseen/below the surface damage. |

| Angelic_Warrior User ID: 23290196 United States11/30/2012 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Found this in my email this morning. Anyone know if this really works? Quoting: Alexander Plain White Flour--who knew? Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water.... A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour...I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand in the flour for 10 mins. which I did. He said that in Vietnam, this guy was on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!!!! So, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, and then pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO PAIN. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself, I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister! *cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour. Miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did. I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for about 10 mins, and the pain was gone and no burn. Try it! Don't run your burn area under Cold water first, just put it right into the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle! Great info if it really works!! Thanks for sharing OP. Love this kind of info  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1667343 United States11/30/2012 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have my doubts about flour -- since flour is highly flammable when it is 'dust' in the air, I woudl think that tossing a bag of flour on a guy who's on fire would actually cause a small explosion and *not* put the fire out. Am not interested in testing it myself though If someone else wants to, be my guest. |

I agree with you on that... Though ACV isn't what I go to First if I have a burn (Say, in the kitchen, etc...) But again, the ACV moisturizes the area as well as the acetic acid helps peel any damage skin naturally by dissolving it or breaking it away from the healing skin, which in turn makes it "Feel better" Very similar to Aloe Vera, but I don't believe the Aloe is acidic. (I need to search that) FLOUR on the other hand is powder... While it make work to smother a fire (in large amounts) it merely covers a wound and does not allow heat to escape. Furthermore I would imagine that if there IS any burned skin which is still "sizzling" for lack of a better term, it will bond with the skin, similar to Fried Chicken, and later become irritated, dry, scaly etc.... There are many good remedies for burn care. But the BEST remedy I know to stop the tissue damage immediately is cool water. I just didn't want someone to read this Flour thing and hurt themselves unnecessarily in the future. Last Edited by Travis Bickle on 11/30/2012 12:57 PM One of these days...

I had someone tell me to put honey on my sunburn (which was my face) and that damn honey made it worse --- my face was so swollen from blisters under the skin line that i looked like a goddamned monkey. and then my skin was oozing out blister goo. it was pretty much the most disgusting thing ever. HONEY and BURNS is a NO NO> this is your PSA> |
| Alexander (OP) User ID: 15635858 United States11/30/2012 07:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It depends on the type of honey being used. Manuka works great even on wounds. We put on the horse's wound as well - heals fast. Earlier in the year coming up the stairs with a pot of scalding hot tea I tripped and it went down my entire front creating 2nd degree burns. Subsequently, I did a lot of reseach on Manuka before ordering it because of not knowing if this would really work on burns. Back then we didn't have any Manuka nor not much else that would help. I've used Manuka on kitchen burns and it works better then anything else. Not having read of the flour remedy it seemed worthwhile to get others imput as to if this really works.
