Tis a finger burn to remember for a long time can be helped immediately by putting the boo boo finger (no, not there) but along the area of the nose, ear, the places that excrete your own human oils placed on the burn.. Ever grab a soldering iron on the wrong end? Whew does that hurt. The personal oils of your skin are a natural and rapid reliever and healer of the pain. Learned that from an old Ma Bell stepper switch guy. Gary K2UQ In a message dated 5/24/2008 5:06:48 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
