*****I guess I can believe this but it was the old bleach ..without
perfumes..right?
I have tried and tried but that no longer seems to be
available...not in any store I have looked.
One thing that I found helpful is honey.
For years I earned my living as a Housekeeper/Cook.
Lots of Burns come with that job:)...I must have just read about
honey healing burns because when I touched the hot oven rack with
the skin of my arm...it burned badly..and I automatically reached
for the honey and poured it over my arm.
At first I thought I had made a bad decision because the pain became
worse..quite a bit worse.
But in a minute it began to subside and cooled and I never scarred
from a burn that really should have left a doozy.
Healed beautifully. V.
