Gail found this on social media. It is not something I experienced myself. I do not know if it would be applicable to our hobby-casting, but thought i would pass it along anyhow.
KEEP A BAG OF FLOUR IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR.....READ ON..... THE BENEFIT OF FLOUR:
Interesting! Who knew? Some time ago, I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water
to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water....!!
A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam veteran, came into the house, as I was screaming, and asked me if I
had some plain old flour... I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in
the flour for 10 minutes.
He said, in Vietnam, there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to
put the fire out... Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!!!! ... Long story short, I
put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, pulled it out and did not even have a red mark or a blister &
absolutely NO PAIN.
Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. *Cold flour feels even better than
room temperature flour. I use the flour and have never ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister! I
even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes .... the pain was gone and no burn.
Try it . . . Experience a miracle! Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did! Flour has heat absorbent property and also has a strong antioxidant property, thus it helps in burn patients if applied within 15 minutes.
