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?

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!
I thought it was one of those English phrases we Americans know nothing about. ;)
My first thoughts, too. I guess it can be hottible if we want it to be?
it taste GREAT what are you talking about horrible????? PS my hubby hates it too LOL

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

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.

wow that is neat too I hate mustard even the smell is awful...............well to me anyway.

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...... :}

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 know for a fact that yogurt is good for lots of things. Now we know it is good for burns. Hope your finger has healed. Hugs Sarah.

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

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?

You can eat it . lol Sorry couldn't resist
