No, this time it’s not a humor bit.

But I received some really good advice from a good friend of mine, based on her own recent personal experience, so I thought I would pass it along in the off chance you or one of your family members ever gets a burn while cooking in the kitchen. – tj  (Thanks, Elys. And I am glad you were not burned too badly!!)

Last night I accidentally burned my left hand.  It is a very minor burn and I am totally fine.  The reason my hand is not blistered, or red or sore is because I remembered a remedy a friend in Florida taught me many years ago.  I immediately put a raw egg on the burn.  The albumin in the egg forms a second "skin" on the burn which "interrupts" the inflammation and the coldness of the egg is extremely soothing.  I have used this remedy before and the results are always amazing.  If the raw egg is applied immediately, there is no inflammation or blistering and it heals really quickly. I cracked the egg and put it on the burn.  I did not scramble it, I left it whole.  The burn was on the palm of my hand, so I held it in the palm of my hand for several minutes.

I share this with you in case, heaven forbid, you ever need to treat a burn or scalding.  Please share this with people who have small children.
