EGG WHITES

[MAYBE]  06/18/2007: Shirley from Toronto, Canada writes: "I spilled an entire coffee filter, filled with water that had come to a rolling boil, all over my right hand. Firstly, I'm no baby, and I'm well versed in both Scottish and Afro/Cuban cures. Tea made with appr. 20 bags, pot half full, add water, dip cloth & put cloth in freezer. Alternate with the egg white cure. Unfortunately, the burn was so bad that the egg whites were cooking on my skin. Although I'm great in a crisis, that completely grossed me out. Burn covered palm, fingers, halfway up arms, but with help of friend was reduced to top half of hand. Didn't prick blisters, I kept it dry. Was in some schock, which I believe was reduced by friends' company. A local nurse agreed we did a great job. Here's the rub. I've been keeping it clean & dry - someone bought me a chlorhexidine dressing - i thought use for 2 hours, but unfortunately with the trauma of the week, fell asleep with it on. I'm resourceful, and could find NO product monograph on the web for this. Now wound was completely wet. My behaviour yesterday indicated trauma...3 days later...any thoughts???"

I have VERY severe rope burns on my hands from holding onto a horse that took off on a lunge line - with a 17 year old on top! I wasn't going to let go of that rope, but ended up with VERY bad burns...I was very skeptical but just now tried the egg whites ....and yep - I am now typing this message!! I stuck my whole hand in there! and hardly have any pain now!! THANK YOU! I am sure it will take a while for this mess to heal, but at least now I don't have to suffer :)"

[YEA]  04/10/2007: Julie from Traverse City, MI writes: "About a month ago someone at the gym mentioned a remedy for burns. I'm sure she meant mild burns. Anyway, this past Sunday I went and touched a dish that I had just taken out of the oven. DUMB!! I immediately ran it under cold water then racked a egg and soaked my fingers in the egg whites.WOW!! The next evening I was like wow my fingers don't even hurt and they didn't even blister. Maybe I didn't burn them as bad as I thought but, think I did, and the egg white thing might actually work."

[YEA]  04/04/2007: Ginger from Seattle, WA writes: "Egg Whites (remedy) on Small Burn (ailment): I acquired a small burn to a finger through a cooking mishap. I specifically googled for ways to stop the pain of a (not-third degree) burn, and found this website. I folded up a paper towel, dipped it in the albumen (white) of one egg, and then rested the paper towel directly on the burn. Every five minutes, I resoaked the towel with the egg white and reapplied it to the burn, keeping it moist. I did this for 25 minutes, carefully washing my hand afterward. There was a small sting for another 15 minutes, but it was nowhere near as ferocious as initially experienced. I don't suggest applying ice afterward, for the sting returned when the burn was moistened. Let it dry and air freely."

[YEA]  02/28/2007: Annita (ABell1000@aol.com) from Myrtle Beach, SC writes: "My mother has told this story many times in the last 30 years. When I was about 4 years old I got a severe burn on the inside of my forearm. Apparently, it was a 2nd degree burn as it was evident to her that 2 layers of skin had been burned. My mother immediately applied egg whites mixed with alum to the burn and covered it with gauze. (Alum is usually found on the spice aisle at the grocery store and is used as an ingredient in baking powder, as a crisping agent for pickles and to harden gelatin.) She says that the following day I was outside playing with other children and fell - forearm down on the ground. She was amazed that I immediately got up and began playing again with no indication of any pain from the burn. I'm not sure of the significance of the alum but I'm now 35 years old and, within my memory, there has never been any sign of a scar on my arm."

[YEA]  08/18/2006: Erin from Kalispell, MT writes: "I burned my hand baking cookies and was in some really bad pain. I put ice on it, but nothing would get rid of the sting. Finally, I found this site and tried the egg white thing. I just lay my hand in a bowl of egg whites for about 20 minutes. When I washed my hand off, the sting was gone and it didn't come back! I would recommend this cure to anyone."

[YEA]  08/02/2006: Jake from Omaha, NE writes: "I recently burnt my hand on a torch and it was pretty severe. I just wrapped it w/ some cloth and ignored it. About an hour went by and I could't take the pain anymore.So I went on this site and told me to use egg whites. By far this is the best remedy for burns. Ive tried crest and colgate tooth paste but nothing works quite like egg whites. THANKS FOR THE HELP!"

[YEA]  06/20/2006: Darrin from Kennesaw, Ga writes: "I burned one of my fingers while cooking and put it on ice immediately. After an hour and a half of uncomfortable chilling and almost out of ice, I googled "heal" and "burns" and hit this site. I read about the egg white technique and gave it a try. I soaked some egg white in a folded-up paper towel and wrapped it around my finger. After 20 minutes I took the paper towel off and I don't feel any pain any more. Egg white really works! Thanks guys!"

[YEA]  06/06/2006: AM from SC writes: "I had scalded my hand while making homemade jam and fortunately my father-in-law was present and had me soak it in egg white and then drenched a paper towel and placed it on my hand and wrapped my hand in a small towel for 30 minutes. The pain was immediately gone and did not return. I have no marks from the burn either. MIRACULOUS!"

HONEY

[YEA]  10/26/2006: Madiha from NJ writes: "1. I mixed honey with ginger juice (1 tb spoon ) three times a day. 2: raw honey on burns(really works). A mixture of ginger juice and honey works for sore throat ..it's the best remedy. I always apply raw honey on burn imediately after I get burned and it really works it keep skin soft ...i always keep honey in my kitchen."

[YEA]  10/06/2006: Joni from Grafton, OH writes: "Honey is also great for BURNS. The other night we were burning some brush in the fire pit and being stupid I grabbed for a stick that wasn't in the fire, but instead grabbed a red-hot end of a burnt stick. OUCH. I ran to the house and put my fingers in ice water. I could tell I burned it deeply (the finger-pad of my forefinger) the other was small burn on the side of my thumb. Then I thought about what I had seen about burns and honey, so I put honey in a measuring cup and dipped my fingers in that. It took the pain right away, but it came back again quickly. So I alternated for an hour and a half between the ice water and honey. The next morning the blisters were unbelievably small and did not hurt AT ALL. In fact the burn felt less deep than it had the night before. Just the surrounding skin looked a little dry. The one on the thumb was completely healed. I have no doubt the forefinger would have been semi-serious if I had not applied the honey. Today (2 days later) you can barely see the blister, as it is flush with the skin and the skin all around the burn looks completely normal again. In fact I can see my fingerprint! I first found this website looking for honey cures and found a wealth of other things too. I love this place!"

[YEA]  06/24/2006: Richard from Boynton Beach, FL writes: "I spread honey over my 3 burned fingers which I had burned from boiling water and the pain went away after 10 minutes."

[YEA]  04/10/2006: Lucy from Blue Island, IL writes: "After burning, cool burn by running under cool water. Immediately thereafter, cover burn with honey. Keep burn covered until burning sensation eases. You may keep burn soaked in bowl of honey if easily accessible. I have healed even severe burns that have already blistered. By the next day, the blister will be gone and the skin above the blister will return to normal if the blister had not ruptured before using the honey. My whole family uses honey for burns."

[YEA]  02/12/2006: Soaring Hawk writes: "When my son was 10 he went for his first ride on a farm tractor. A couple of hours later when he got off he reached out and grabbed the exhaust pipe to get off. We immediately poured Raw Unrefined Honey on it & wrapped it in a clean ‘T’ shirt. Took the pain away very fast & the next morning when we unwrapped it the hand was perfect. No sign of a burn at all!"

[YEA]  02/03/2006: Brenda from Vicksburg, MS writes: "I have used honey for years on any burn and the pain stops immediately and it will not blister. You may have to apply it a couple of times but well worth the stickiness."

ICE

[YEA]  Emily from Naples FL writes: "Ice really helps, i burned my thumb on a tray and put it in a small bowl of ice, if you have nothing else to put on, ice is your best option."
