Good morning and happy Easter. I winced at reading your burn episode, ouch!

If you don't have one, I'd suggest you get an aloe plant. They'll grow indoors (need a sunny window), and don't take a lot of care. The juice of the plant is an absolute miracle in relieving and healing burns. The plant is a succulent, so the "leaves" (more like the legs of a star fish) are thick with a slimy gel. When you get burned, you butterfly a spike open and place it directly on the burn and either hold it there. or wrap it with something to keep it positioned. A second degree burn will heal overnight.

It grows easily here, and I've planted it at the base of my oak tree and one of the mangos, so I have a limitless supply. The very first thing I do after saying ouch is head out in the yard and slice off a piece.

You'll never need it because you hide from the sun, but it also works miracles on sun burn.

I once flipped a pot pie on it's way out of the oven over on my wrist. (Don't ask me how I could do something so stupid, but I can be a kitchen klutz.) It immediately made a blister the size of a water balloon. I gave it the full aloe treatment and it stopped the pain and started the healing. That one was bad enough that it took a bit longer than overnight, but the pain was instantly gone.

Just looking out for you, hope you don't mind.
