- Note to self;
- "I have done the toothpaste Home quick-Fix as I was at an older persons house when I suffered a shocking steam burn while preparing dinner. Not wanting to be rude as the 'Old' told me in the most caring and certainly Tried&True Form not go to the sink and put cold water on it. I was lessoned in this forum of sat, really more like 'In Action'.
- I may be in a situation someday that I had no immediate cold water to readily run over the burn. In such case of does happen, he told me to go to the bathroom or where ever I may know that the product 'Toothpaste' is located and put toothpaste on the burn itself. Of course this was all while he was walking me to the bathroom for the application of the actual toothpaste, so it was kind of funny and rather ended up being a sort of moot point. However for the sake of trust and love for this particular person I readied myself for the horrible burning effect of those old timey remedy fixes. To my surprise the burn seized immediately after he oozed the toothpaste onto my steam burn located on my hand. At that point I was told to spread it myself."

7 Quick Fixes for Minor Burns, Bumps and Bruises
Use these common household objects for minor annoyances.
1. Soothe minor burns in the kitchen
Grabbed a hot pot handle or touched the edge of a baking sheet fresh from the oven? Keep a tube of white, minty toothpaste nearby to soothe a minor burn. First, run cold water over the burn, then gently pat dry and spread on a layer of toothpaste. The pain will quickly fade.
2. Help heal a bruise
When you bump your arm or leg and you feel a bruise coming on, alleviate the pain and cut down on the discoloration by rubbing the surface of the skin with a splash of an alcohol-based mouthwash.
3. Cure a headache
Stop a headache in its tracks with a bandanna. Tie one around your forehead, tightening it until you feel pressure at several points around your head. The bandanna will reduce the flow of blood to your scalp, which in turn will reduce the pain you feel from swollen blood vessels. For extra benefit, soak the bandanna in vinegar. You may not like the smell, but you’ll like the added relief.
4. Relieve a bee sting
After taking out the stinger, spray the area with ammonia window cleaner. It will help reduce the swelling and soothe the pain. (Just never use a concentrated product.)
5. Tame a toothache
Cut a piece from a brown paper bag and soak it in vinegar. Sprinkle black pepper on one side, and hold that side to your cheek. Your cheek will feel nicely warm — which may pull your attention from the pain in your tooth. Of course, call your dentist as soon as you can to get rid of the pain permanently.
6. Heat up a sports cream
When you spread a heating sports cream over aching muscles, you get relief for a short time, but the effectiveness often seems to cease before the pain is gone. Enhance the effect of a liniment by wrapping a sheet of plastic wrap around the affected area after you apply the cream. It will increase the heating effect and treat the pain better. (This treatment is so effective that you may want to test it on a small patch of skin to make sure it doesn’t burn you.)
7. Cover a blister
Breaking in a pair of shoes? A heel blister makes walking miserable, and most heel bandages rub as you go, worsening the pain. Put a gauze square over the actual sore, then cover your heel with a wide strip of duct tape and you’ll be back on the road.
