My fried at work told me to put mustard on it, so I did..I think the pain was so intence when I put the mustard on it, that I forgot the pain I had before.   Be sure to give it enough time Comments By: Kelli in Louisiana I found this remedy about an hour after I had burned my hand on the stove. By the time I put the mustard on it had already blistered. I left the mustard on about an hour. It continued to burn and throb off and on. After leaving it on an hour I washed it off. Burning and still blistered I was VERY disappointed. Within 5 minutes the burning and the blister both were gone!!!   Do not put mustard on a burn! Comments By: Jonica If you read any of the medical advise about burns you will not do this. When you are burnt even if you do not have broken skin you are much more likely to get an infection. You are not supposed to put any sort of food, butter, grease on a burn. If you work in a restaurant you know nothing is clean; and there are probably tons of germs in those bottles. Just think, how many times have you married those condiments? you can put cool water on the burn, but if the burnt area is large you dont even do that because you can get hypothermia (sp?) sounds crazy but true. you should see the doctor very soon after if it is a large area (ex: your entire arm) or if it is blistering badly.   Believe it or not it works! Comments By: kris I was blow drying my hair before getting into bed. I was just about to pull the plug from the wall, and the blow dryer just exploded! Sparks of fire flew everywhere, and one landed on the palm of my hand! Ouch!! I kept my hand in cool running water for about several min. I had the idea of looking on the internet for home remedies and "mustard" came up. Begging for the pain to STOP, I poured a generous amount of mustard to the area. It stung for a few seconds but afterwards, it felt soothing! Maybe about 5 min or so it started to throb again, but I just blew air on it and it instantly felt better!   IT WORKS Comments By: MUSTARD CHAMPION I HAVE BEEN USING MUSTARD FOR BURNS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AND IN THIS AMOUNT OF TIME, HAVE HAD ONLY 1 SMALL SHORT LIVED BLISTER!! MY DAUGHTER HAS HAD SEVERAL BURNS IN HER 12YEARS...NEVER SEVERE AND NEVER A BLISTER BECAUSE I USE THIS REMEDY... ONE THING THAT HELPS IS I ALSO COMBINE THE MUSTARD WITH BAKING SODA AND ALLOW IT TO DRY. BY THE TIME ITS DRY, THE PAIN AND THE EFFECTS OF THE BURN ARE USUALLY GONE!   i grabbed the iron! Comments By: audra wow it works   mustard Comments By: Hollie so my friend kelly told me to put mustard on my burn and i did and it burned like 10 times worse it hurt ALOT! i dont see how i could have let it sit like they said!!!   mustard Comments By: jhaylora OMG i tried the mustard thing it only made things worse! i burned my self on a pot and then i put the mustard on the burn and let it sit and all it did was burn way worse then it started to bleed and wouldnt stop and then i had to go to the hospital and i had to get 15 stitches this didnt work out for me at all!   you betchyer bootie Comments By: Myra Bee Madsen wul I was cookin' some country fried chicken and I went ta flip it in the oven and done gone and burnt my hand.

Comments By: Sarah Price today while i was making hot tea i spilt a pot of boiling watter on my thighs. a friend of mine whos mom is a teacher grabbed mustard out of the fridge and immeditaly started tending to my burns. mustard brought temporary relief to my legs of fire. at the hospital the nurse and docter were calling me the human hot dog, apparently they had ever herd using mustard to take the heat out of a burn. what the hell did you do in med school sir? my skin is still yellow and it stinks pretty bad, but when your in pain anything that will help is worth it.   Burned my finger on a lamp Comments By: Rachel I burned my finger when touching a lamp by accident.
