BIL north of Orlando says typical heavy rain and palm fronds all over the roads. got to turn off his sprinklers for a few days, and miss golf while the greens dry out.
OH, my crosman 2250 does trash rats just fine. save the big lead for serious predators.

I bad scalded the tops of my middle 3 fingers right hand this morning (tea kettle failure), much pain, very nominal blistering. Held under cold water for a few minutes, then sprayed on Burn Pain Relief (.05 lidocaine) and it helped for about 15 min and then the pain came back worse than ever. Wailing, crying, pain. I then realized that as the Burn spray did its thing, it also 'sealed' the skin, to keep out infection sure, but it also kept in my normal body heat and I wanted it gone!! so I filled a bowl with cool water and plunged my hand in it and within seconds - all pain was gone. Like, gone. I gently rubbed the burn spray off my fingers, took my hand out of the bowl, patted dry, and the pain didn't return. It came back once, after I went outside for a few minutes around noon, when I went back in to the cold house, no more pain. Now, 8 hrs later, as long as I avoid all heat near my hand my fingers don't hurt, still tender to the touch but that's all. Even the blistering went down.

I'm okay, just wanted to share this in case it happens to you. Cold is your friend.

Burns are among the most painful injuries. Glad you found relief. Thanks for sharing in case one of us has an incident like that.

I scalded my wrist bad on an exploding radiator a few years ago - second degree burns, all the skin fell off on the way to the acute care clinic that was the closest place I could get to to get treated. They perscribed silver sulfadiazine, aka "silvadene", and it healed me up so well there's no visible scarring. Took about 2 weeks of keeping the silvadene on the wound and keeping it wrapped, but it healed fast and really helped with the pain, too.

Fast foward to last year, and I got my doctor to "pre-emptively" prescribe me some silvadene that I keep on hand for the occasional nasty burn from the forge. Got some on my right index finger under a band-aid right now where I gave myself a little 2nd degree burn this past weekend. It's great stuff, and if burns are something you deal with from time to time I highly recommend it.

Wow, that's Wicked. Mine was not nearly as bad. Glad you have some treatment on hand. My preventative was drop kicking the tea kettle across the yard.

Yes sir. 1st degree burns.
It'll get me out of doing dishes for a week.
At least.

Between the dozens of tubes and many 400 ml jars, I have almost a gallon of silver sulfadiazene in the house. I opened a radiator cap on my Rambler while leaning over it when I was 18. The car was badly overheated and the cap didn't have a pressure-release lever so when I started to turn it it blew right off.

I lost most of the skin off my belly, chest, neck, and face. My glasses saved my eyes.

The memory of that incident keeps me from ever being less than stupidly over-supplied with silver sulfadiazene.
