Burns kit

[pseudonym]

You've got to laugh as preppers we do see the darkest parts of things as were always trying to stay one step ahead and its usually doom and gloom.. but if I hadn't read this the other week if I hadn't ordered the burns gel and read what to do I would probably still be in A &E 18 hours later with a red raw rear
So thank you everyone
You saved my ass ...literally!

I hoped you ordered a replacement.

If you have Clean running water . Big roll of cling film....

20 mins under cool water then wrap in cling film (loosely not tightly)

Then off to hospital.

Read this the other week and ordered some of the gel ..just in case
Thanks Yorks Andy
Came in from the pool last night
Tripped over the damned cat backwards as I was stripping off to shove everything in washer
Wobbled backwards and planted my Ar$e firmly on the wood burner
The left cheek to be exact
Have spent the night lying on my stomach with the burn relief gel spread across said ass
I can confirm this gel works and takes the sting out of the tail ...literally
Sat a a angle now with the cat staring at me ...

Someone been reading my posts? It's 10 days now since I poured boiling water all over the back of my hand in a hotel is a small town 300 miles from home. I remember thinking, my god, I'm supposed to be a prepper and I've not even brought a basic first aid kit like I carry on bike rides, let alone anything for burns. I did know to run the cold tap over it. I went online for advice, and made sure it wasnt too cold, and did it on and off for about 20 minutes. Then I wrapped it in a plastic bag, but it felt less painful when I wrapped it in a clean t-shirt. Later I found out the town had a small hospital with a minor injuries unit within walking distance, so I went there. I thought I might be being over cautious, but they put dressings on, bandaged it up, including finger bandages, and told me to go to a GP or minor injuries unit in 2 days, when I would be in Manchester. I ended up being seen at an Urgent Treatment centre at a hospital, who said to put vaseline once a day and come back if it blistered. I don't think it has, touch wood. It's still red, but the area has shrunk a bit. There's some peeling skin at the edges.

The cause of all this was the hotel had a kettle and mug on a low table, and I picked them up to save back strain, and wasn't used to the kettle. A major blunder.
