In the 🔥heat 🔥 of the moment

This morning was very adventurous for me. For some reason my man's nerves in his fingers suddenly stopped working, it made him drop what he held. He held a kettle with boiling water that he had just taken off the stove.

He drops it on the kitchen floor and the water splashes up at his chest and arms as I'm on the other side of the kitchen, witnessing it all. My innate reaction was to run to him but the water on the floor was boiling hot so the island of water kept us apart.

I then ran to the bathroom to soak a towel in cold water that he put on his wounds. And laid dried towels on the kitchen floor so he could move. He took a cool shower then we patched him up.

Because we were so fast to cool him down, and his neck was blessed, he got away with just a milder burn injury and probably won't need to see a doctor. We'll maintain the burn wounds and see how it heals. Hopefully it will heal on it's own.

After this incident we immediately started counting our blessings. This could have ended very differently.

Jusus crust!! Use over the counter burn cream if its available. Keep areas affected dry and cool.

Investment in antibacterial ointment is a must. Slather that stuff on.

@AceWarbringer Oh oops, we have done the complete opposite but he seems fine so maybe several methods works 😅

Antibacterial hmm. I think we have such patches! But he took a shower asap so no bacteria

@Queendragonfly its for after care. Burns get infected very quickly.

Its important to keep the area covered to keep out dust dirt and lint. All of this can get into the burn and cause serious problems.
