was out for a Sunday drive today when hubby stopped for a coffee @ the Golden Arches, the lid was not tight & I scalded my baby finger it was quite painful & since I had nothing to "stick" my finger in like water I stuck it in the only thing I had @ the time & low & behold the pain stopped immediately! I could see the marks on it right away but now there is no indication of a burn in sight. What did I stick my finger in you may well ask? YOGURT! I had a small yogurt to eat in the car & it worked like a charm!!! this is really good info & I sure hope that I remember this when it happens again ( I know in my life time I will get burned) ..........I just wish I was as sure I would remember this when it happens LOL who would have ever thought of Yogurt as having healing properties?

Glad that worked for you Loralye-I guess my 1st instinct would have been to grab some snow-lord knows there is plenty of that around. You did say you were in the car right?

thanks I was really surprised. hugs

Ow! Glad you had yogurt for the burn, sounds like it was just what you needed! It has active cultures of acidophilus, so maybe works for lots of things?

thanks Sarah it heeled pretty good & now the skin is a bit tough so maybe that is still working?

Never heard of that and never would have thought to use Yogurt but hey if it works keep it on hand for such emergencies. Guess I better put Yogurt on my shopping list.

I was as surprised as you but I guess it is just one of those strange but good things to learn

Can I laugh??? Poor you.... :{ ..... but this is funny. Is it because I have an Aussie sense of humour????
Next time I go to Maccas I'll order yoghurt-to-go.
Still giggling.... sorry...... :}

It is funny now imagine me sticking my finger in YOGURT but it did stop immediately so I guess I will do it again if need be

Good to know! Mustard works great on a burn, too. McD would have had some of that. I'd never heard of yogurt as a kid, but my mom always put canned evaporated milk on my sunburns. Maybe it worked like yogurt.

I am glad that you like it, I was pleasantly surprised

Yes, yogurt is one of those powerful foods, like broccoli.

yes but I can't stick my finger into broccoli hahaha I like it too

Well, I'll have to try that next time I burn myself, which I do rather often, and usually in a very dumb fashion. Was it Greek yogurt? What flavor? Hee hee hee. Sure glad it helped, hugs, Marji

well that is good to know too thanks

It's the only stuff my wife keeps in our fridge.............................hottible stuff!!!! Still, as long as it did the job then that is good. Cooling and the application of a soothing cream is always a good response. Hope the pinkie recovers soon.

That should have read 'horrible stuff.' My keyboard is wearing out!

by rescuer 23 Feb 2014

I thought it was one of those English phrases we Americans know nothing about. ;)

by jrob 23 Feb 2014

My first thoughts, too. I guess it can be hottible if we want it to be?

by pldc 23 Feb 2014
