Against burns: the egg white

[C moa]

If aspi venom not ok, me Alphonse 3 from Turkey ...

I used this trick and it was at least as conclusive (though) as the gram of salt placed on the wasp bite wound ... put a drop of water and let it evaporate, the venom is absorbed by the salt...

QED!

You will find here everything you always wanted to know about first aid without daring to ask

As for the asp venom, I suggest that you download the first part of PSE2 and read pages 83 and 84. You will see that for insect bites, we are asked to remove the sting with pliers. splinter and for reptiles, it is outright forbidden dixit "NB: All suction techniques, whether oral or using a device, are formally prohibited because they promote the spread of venom."

If you all want to know about burns and what to do according to the different types, I advise you to download the repository of the 1 and read from page 213.
You will have all the answers to your certainties.

I add one that does for jellyfish burns; it's urine.
there are comprehensive sites on pee and its "benefits" for skin and health.
Good info or intoxicated?
Another, "personal exp", I was blown away and after ten minutes I forgot what had happened to me (very superficial burn but even qd burn). Would I have the psychological so malleable?

In short, I wanted to emphasize its aspects without being able to comment on them, I am incapable of it.

I also heard about this in the south, especially

the gram of salt placed on the wasp sting wound ... put a drop of water and let it evaporate, the venom is absorbed by the salt ...

It is 100% sure and it costs nothing ... and that those who do not believe me, go see elsewhere if I am there, meow

For the jellyfish stings, which I have suffered many times, (more tuna to eat them), since the venom destroys itself by heating to 40 ° C, the only way that I find effective to reduce the intensity of burn developing over several days, is to heat the pitted surface (even barely visible at the time) to 42 or even 45 ° C close to 50 ° C, by any available means such as:
hot water at 50 ° C
pad of paper or blotting paper preheated on a slightly heated electric plate and applied to the pricked areas
on the verge of burning, on ordinary skin, but which burns more on the bites instantly, but soothes a few minutes later and above all avoids the aggravation by action of the venom over several days !!
I have experimented many times on myself, and I have been able to compare without heating (the venom digs over several days) and after heating for a few minutes in spurts, where the burn disappears on the contrary, by destruction of the venom by the heat.
My wife, once bitten, treated the visible stitched surface (swollen) and forgot to treat another not very visible and painless portion, but the next day it was the opposite, the heated portion was finished and the one forgotten and neglected , was swollen and painful.
This experience unintentionally proves the effectiveness of this weak heating.
It is better to do it as quickly as possible, but even half an hour, even an hour after, the heating makes it possible to destroy the remaining venom which will dig the burn in depth over several days.
The difference is such with the heat that I am much less afraid of jellyfish compared to my first burns without heating !!!
The other means are almost ineffective.

hello, I once read somewhere that the glue produced by snails and slugs was used as a healing agent, especially on burns

at least these are not food products that are used
of course we used slugs or snails on warts but hey we get into another subject

[sen-no-sen]

For the jellyfish stings it is true that the urine is effective, as well as the vinegar (deactivation of the nematocysts) ... of course if it is a sting of Cubo-jellyfish (North Australia) or a Physalie it is a another story ...

Do not forget the honey (during which remains bees ...), "food" of wonder which is an excellent healing, also very effective against sore throats.

During first and second degree burns (except in exceptional cases, see good advice) and after having passed the wound under water, having cleaned it and applying a disinfectant, the use of aloe vera ointment may be very useful as a healing, disinfectant and above all hydrating.

Aloe vera gel is excellent in case of burns I had the opportunity to try ;-)

[Janic]

a small mistake often made: go UNDER the water. In reality it must be buried under water to avoid contact with air.

[goldsmith]

Do you mean that going under flowing COLD water is useless? Should we drown the party concerned?

[Janic]

hello goldsmith
it is not useless to go under cold water, if only because some burns can leave ONLY this solution. By experience and easily verifiable with a burn on the hand, for example, leaving the burned part buried below the water, there will be no trace of burn, the same experience of passing under a stream of water will leave a trace more or less accentuated.
