my son's night care provider saved our house from burning when he picked
up a flaming (hot oil, was covered, heating up for popcorn - when I took
the lid off it exploded) cast iron pan in his bare hands
and ran it out of the house. The burns were extremely severe on his
hands and worse on his arms, where the flames were jumping up directly
on his skin. He should have gone to the ER, would have been put in the
burn unit, but wouldn't. Doesn't have insurance. It was the most
severe kind of burn, totally numb
for first hours. First he soaked them in ice water (to stop the ongoing
deep tissue burning). I finally convinced him to use cs with ice. He
kept them immersed for the first four hours. As the feeling began to
return he couldn't tolerate the ice, so just used the cs. I wanted to
coat them with antibiotic creme, but he couldn't tolerate anything like
that, so we just kept spraying it with cs - which was very soothing. First
couple days were round the clock spraying and immersions in cs. They
healed amazingly well. There was/is some scarring, but these severe
burns were within two weeks basically healed. Doctor later told me
that they use a silver ointment in the burn unit - it is standard
treatment, for both healing, preventing infection, and soothing. Mike
couldn't have tolerated the ointment, but good old homemade cs was sure
a godsend. Sara
