Ugh, so after that update I went and burned my thumb on carmelized waffle.

Go me :(

Luckily, it was my right hand.

Unluckily, I burned my fucking thumb! Spent 20 minutes running water over it, and it still hurt and up my hand. Would've spent longer but I had to pick up Ana and the sink wasn't gonna come with me. It stopped hurting (much) after half an hour from that, and now it's not hurting at all, but I have one big blister and a smaller one above.

I ate a few extra waffles to compensate.

Ouch! I've done that before. DD:

But ha, you got revenge on the waffles.

Folk wisdom says to put sugar on the burn. But I have no idea if folk wisdom is on to something or not.

Doctors unanimously say to put nothing but running water on a burn until the pain ends. Which I did. Then they're torn between TTO and bandages, honey and bandages, or just plain bandages.

As the skin isn't cracked or cut at all, I'm leaving it alone.

TTO? I'm not familiar with this abbreviation, and google is mostly giving me a financial group. I hadn't heard the honey and bandages, either! Interesting!

Hope it heals up quick, though. Finger-burns are their own special brand of awful, in my opinion.

Tea Tree Oil.

*thinks*

You know what? I bet some people recommend you put breastmilk on burns too.

Oh! Of course! I'd never seen it abbreviated before, so I didn't even think about that possibility. *uses Tea Tree Oil all the time*

I've heard of using breastmilk on sunburns before, now that you mention it.
