Hello all,

I am just referring back to Ada's request for burn treatment and plead with all to never use Mayonaisse on burns.
Oil being an ingredient in Mayo means that you are applying oil to a burn and in fact "cooking" your burn.
The heat that is in the skin following a burn must be removed immediately but this must be done with water only. To instantly cool the skin will often stop the formation of blisters.
I realise that there maybe some old remedies for some things that are tried and true but when it comes to using food stuffs to treat burns or infections it is not advised.
I have nursed people who have used butter, cold potato and various other things on burns who have done a great deal of permanent damage to the skin.

Cheers to everyone
Tayla
