Gotta love Wilson Wilson; so good they named him twice.

If, for some reason, you are suddenly flung against barbwire, and are lacerated, press the edges of the wound together, coat liberally with KrazyGlue, GorillaGlue, or some such item, and seal it with duct tape. 100MPH tape works great in this instance. Aftercare with the medics is usually recommended.

Has nothing to do with your finger...

Next time, foot, forget the cold compresses. Fill a bowl with ice. Add water to fill in between the ice. Plunge your hand in the bowl. Take three ibuprofen.

It's gotten me through a couple of nasty burns.

Ok Brits. You call a flashlight a torch. So what do you call a torch - like what foot used to BBQ his fingers?

A torch of course!
We bin around longer than you New-Worlders.
We use OLD words.

Actually Americans often use older words. Fall (as in the season), and garbage come to mind. Not used here now.

So you tell the difference through context?

I didn't know that about fall and garbage.

I have read that the speech of Appalachians is quite close to Elizabethan England.

I used one of those frozen gel packs until it melted, then I put the burn gel lidocaine stuff on it. The next moring all the pain was gone. The first major blister broke last night after washing up after a marathon brewing session. There are a couple of other blisters beginning to form.

I'm surprised it wasn't painful after the first day.

No, no, no:

Caution

Don't use ice. Putting ice directly on a burn can cause a person's body to become too cold and cause further damage to the wound...
Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cool (not cold) running water for 10 or 15 minutes or until the pain subsides. If this is impractical, immerse the burn in cool water or cool it with cold compresses. Cooling the burn reduces swelling by conducting heat away from the skin. Don't put ice on the burn.

Yeah, I read that about an hour after I had iced it. I did put a cloth napkin between the ice and the burn. I'm still alive.

My thumb fell off, but I'm still alive.

Well, it's better than butter.

Betty Botter bought some butter to better her burn.
But she said, sounding bitter, this butter better not burn my burn even better.
Betty Botter borrowed the batter from Baltimore and her burn felt better because of the batter who battered better.
