On that note - if you burn yourself, even a little burn, REALLY DO STOP EVERYTHING and run it under a cold tap for ten entire minutes. It will be annoying and feel like forever and probably go numb but it WORKS and even burns that have already blistered won't be painful and it stops it damaging deeper skin layers.
if u feel the first cramp and think "i dont need a painkiller yet, itll pass" ? that the devil speaking, take that painkiller immediately
#i know people know about burns but it's so important to DO THE FULL TEN MINUTES#yes i did once accidentally plunge my entire hand in a vat of cooling oil while cleaning out a chip shop fry pan#the fact it was cooling is the only reason I'd risked starting the clean out and also the only reason I still have a functional hand#cooling oil is still hot enough to leave a significant fucking burn and that ten minutes under the tap was a life saver#let's not talk about the three inch ulcer i got from a hot tea scald on my leg last year because I'm still kinda traumatised
