Egg Whites Real Pain Killer

We hear of lots of different "cures"for burns: aloe vera, cold water, milk.  We heard one last month that was different, and thank goodness David remembered it.  Last night as we were preparing dinner, David accidentally grabbed at a very hot cast iron pan while it was on the BBQ - burning his hand quite badly.  He remembered hearing that you apply cold water (stuck his hand in the sink), you separate the yolk from the white of the egg, and then apply/brush the egg white to the burned area - and leave it there.  It's sticky for a few minutes, but it dries quickly.  David was really impressed with how rapidly the pain dissipated - and even now, as I write this, he is complimenting the process once again.  Thought I'd let you know.

  1. Always love your tips... We're using lysterine for mosquitos, just like in MX. By the way, your parrot looks much better with feathers.
