Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Everyone I know has done it- accidentally grabbing the handle of a pot or pan without a potholder and enduring a great amount of pain due to it. The next time you burn yourself, believe it or not, vanilla extract will help take the initial pain away.
- Generously moisten a cotton ball or swab with vanilla extract.
- Try to avoid placing the cotton ball or swab against the bottle's opening, as it may contaminate the extract.
- Roll the swab or cotton ball over your burn gently. Squeeze out excess vanilla extract over your skin if you chose a cotton ball for application.
- Wait for relief!

Also, alcohol probably is not a good idea on a burn because it will dry out the skin. The best thing for a burn is right there in the kitchen anyway-- lots of cold water!!
