How to treat burns

 

Chemical and other burns can be treated by separating the yolk of an egg from it's white and then applying the egg white to the burn. 

Keep in mind this treatment of burns was included in teaching beginner fireman many years ago, but is now lost to them.    First aid consists of spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced, this effectively  stops the layers of skin from burning and causing more damage.  Then, spread egg whites on the affected are.

This method works safely for all burn types.
