A saucepan burn, the pain was quite drastic After cooling I wrapped arm in plastic Cling film worked such a treat to reduce the burn’s heat I’m now pain free and feeling fantastic! Yesterday I burned my wrist on the edge of a saucepan – ouch it was so painful! Google’s advice is to use cool water for 20 mins then wrap burnt area in clingfilm ... it really works 7/17/19

I use aloe lotion meant to calm sunburn. Seems to do the trick! Glad you found relief and like all us poets, you found a way to turn your tragedy into a poem.

Good idea Kim whatever works best for you, I have arnica cream and not aloe Vera but the cling film definitely helped me:-) hugs Jan xx

I’ll have to tell my wife about this, she is constantly burning herself.

I've not had a burn for years so the use of cling film never crossed my mind until hubby recalled it from an A & E programme. I sincerely hope your wife doesn't have to use this tip though Rick!:-( hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan, I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. It's good to hear that you are feeling much better. Only you would make a limerick out that situation. I hope that other than that you're having a good day:-) Alexis

I believe it! Perfect sense. I know tattoo's heal best just kept clean and wrapped with plastic. Cute and informative limerick! Sorry about your burn! xomo

Thanks Mo... I read up on how to treat a burn and had seen clingfilm used on the TV in hospital programmes so thought I'd give it a try and I've also heard about using it on tattoo's ... what an amazing product:-) hugs Jan xx
