[YEA]  10/18/2008: Jenn from Chuluota, Florida, United States of America writes: "First off, Id like to say I'm somewhat of a pyro, burns are nothing new to me. I usually just grit my teeth and bare it though. I burnt myself lighting a fire in my fireplace, it wasn't really bad, but I decided since I had the internet, I would try to find some type of home remedy. I used the baking soda paste and I was surprised at how well it worked. I applied it about 4 times, reapplying when the paste dried and the pain started to flare up again. After the 4th time I couldn't feel any pain at all. This is an amazing home remedy and I plan on using it if, no when, I ever get burned again."

I got bored and decided to pick at the edges to see if it was setting right. The edges were hard. I picked more and caught my knuckle of my middle finger on the HOT, melted sugar. It hurt A LOT! Running cold water on it helped, but eventually, the pain and swelling got so bad, nothing was working. I went to the 24 hour drug store and the manager sprayed some burn pain relief on it. It worked but I kept having to spray it on, and eventually, it stopped working, too.

Out of desparation, I went with my first instinct I had when I burned myself and made a paste out of baking soda. The pain went away immediately. But it came back as the baking soda dried out. I had to go to bed so I could work the next day. So, I made more paste, caked it on my finger, covered my hand with a ziploc baggie and covered the baggie with a sock. Then, I took Excedrin PM and went to bed. When I woke up, the baking soda paste was still wet and my finger no longer hurt. There's a blister there, but no pain!"

[YEA]  07/11/2008: Robin from Walhalla, SC writes: "I recently had a bad burn from a lawn mower. I put burn medicine on it, but it didn't put out the fire at all. I read a post on here about baking soda, and decided to try it. I made a thick paste out of baking soda and water and put it all over the burn. It was amazing! The fire went out of the burn IMMEDIATELY. I few days later, my son was stung by a wasp. I made the same paste and put it on his sting and it took the pain away for him. It worked on a four year old who was screaming in pain."

About two hours later i couldn't stand the pain anymore and i looked this web site up and tried the baking soda paste. It worked!!!!! My pain was gone within 10 min. I would recomend this to anyone. It is great and it really works!"

[YEA]  07/19/2006: Reese from Huntersville, NC writes: "i mixed up the baking soda and the water and put it on right away and the pain stopped. i had been utting ice on it for about an hour before, but the pain just came back over and over again."

[YEA]  Mae from Georgia writes: "I love baking and, unfortunately, burns go with the territory. I have found making a paste of baking soda mixed with a little water is effective if applied immediately. The baking soda seems to draw out the heat and reduce (or eliminate, depending on the degree) the redness. This works great for me, because when you are baking you always have baking soda right at your finger tips!"

[YEA]  11/09/2008: Suzanne from Westlake Village, CA writes: "Tonight I splattered hot grease on my hand. Although I immediately put it under cold water, the burning continued for the next two hours until I put egg whites on it. Ahhh...relief. It dried like a liquid bandaid. I was pain free until I washed my hands later in the evening. Another coat of egg whites and I was pain free again. I'm a believer."

About HONEY for burns..a couple of years ago I poured boiling water into my hand instead of my tea-cup (go figure!) I did the ice water thing immediately to help the pain, then put a big blob of honey on the scalded surface of my palm, covered this with a cloth and put an ice pack on top. The ice helped with the pain but I had to keep renewing it. After 2 hours when the pain had finally subsided I removed the cloth and there was no sign of the scald at all. It was as if it had never happened. The honey was wonderful for the healing the skin, but the egg white is fantastic for the pain of a burn."

Hello, all....I'm sure you are aware of the multiple postings on here for egg whites, I have read them all......so let me save you some time. It does work!!!!! I am typing this with my left hand soaking in a bowl of egg whites and absolutly no pain or burning sensation at all.

Earlier this morning at 7am (it is now 10:45am) I burned my hand with scalding HOT coffee, by accidentally pushing the button on our automatic dispensing coffee maker. Mind you this was 1 minute before walking out the door to drop the kids off at school. I screamed (thank goodness the kids were already in the car), cried, ran my hand under cold water (which really didn't help too much), told my husband what happened, then walked out the door with a Spiderman ice pack we had sitting in our freezer. I kept the ice pack on during the drive and for a total of 2 1/2 hours once back home.

I still had severe pain and my ice pack was completely melted. After calling all the moms I knew for alternatives, I couldn't stand the pain any longer....so I opted to jump online and look for home remedies. Praise God that I ran across this site and tried the egg whites which stopped the pain immediately. Even when I take my hand out for a few seconds to do something, the layer or coating of egg whites on my hand keeps the pain from coming back.

Not sure how long the burn will take to completely heal (I will comment again when that happens), but all the redness and pain are gone and it LOOKS like it will heal fine, without blistering or peeling. WE'LL SEE :o)

****There is one piece of information I would like to share: The temperature of the egg whites determines the soothing level of the remedy. Occassionally the pain or burning feeling would come back once my hand warmed the liquid, so I would add another egg white to the bowl to cool it down. The colder the egg whites, the less pain you feel.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!!!!!! I WOULD NOT HAVE TRIED IT IF THERE WEREN'T SOOO MANY COMMENTS LISTED."

[YEA]  07/10/2008: Dawn from San Diego, CA writes: "My Daughter who is 7 accidently back into my Husband's moped yesterday and burnt her arm she ran in to the house and put a rag on it and in the process she tore away the blister that immediately formed. The burn is about 4 or 5 inches long and about 2 inches wide. Half of it is exposed new skin because of the blister being torn away. She was in pain and saying it was stinging I went looking for advice for her and found your site. I opted for using the egg whites as it had the most replies and seemed least painful for her. I cracked and separated an egg and tore out the membrane of the egg placed the membrane over the burn and applied the egg whites covered it and she was out of pain almost immediately we continued to keep it wet and when she woke up this morning I took off the bandage and it still look gnarly but she is in no pain. Thanks for all the great help and my daughter thanks you also. I sure would have never thought to us egg whites I just wanted something that would not hold in the heat."

Last night I was microwaving potatoes (to have a baked potatoe faster than normal). The microwave is on top of my fridge. They were in, on high, for about 10 minutes. I pulled out the bowl to add more water and spilled the water down my left arm. INTENSE PAIN!!!!! WORSE THAN HAVING MY 10 LB. BOY 13 YEARS AGO!!!!! After holding freeze pops on my arm for about an hour I finally remembered this site. I was VERY SKEPTICAL. I only had 2 eggs. Very carefully, I used my pointer finger and put a thin layer on the burns which covered about 75% of my lower arm. Instant relief. I tried to lay down but they dried and the pain came back. I took 1 paper towel and soaked it in my only 2 egg whites. I covered the burn, wrapped it in saran wrap and went to bed. This morning there are NO RED MARKS, NO PAIN, IT'S LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!! I am shocked and so VERY VERY VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS WEB SITE! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! PLEASE DON'T STOP SHAING YOUR HOME REMEDIES!!!!!"

[YEA]  06/12/2008: Doug from Roseville, Michigan writes: "I burned the three fingers on my left hand by touching the lawn mower muffler and the pain was very intense I couldnt stand it anymore, pulled up this web site and tried the egg thing. I used 2 eggs without the yolks, like Madge would say "your (I am) soaking in it right now" And typing w/one hand. Still stinging a little but major difference in the pain, only been soaking for 10 minutes or so, Time will tell. I would def recommend this.The only way I could get out of pain was cold water and then I would be ok for about a minute or two then I would haft to go back under the cold water and it was getting pretty annoying. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TRY THE EGG WHITES IT WORKS."

[YEA]  06/08/2008: Lizz from Marietta, Ga writes: "For years in the resturant biz I have used egg whites for burns/ice: 1st then egg white. I swear by this you will have very little blistering if any. For severe burns pull the film layer from the inside shell and use it to cover the area then keep moist with egg white. It is the best I've ever used including aloe. Stay Healthy but when we can't thank you Mother Earth."

I found this site and read about using egg whites for burns. Well after about 20 mins. she said the pain was almost all gone. And after 1 hour she is pain free. THANKS SO MUCH. You are a life saver. This site is on my desktop now."
