I had a log that was glowing red, roll out of my fireplace and go airborn, heading for the carpeted den floor (this has been years ago)....I could only thing of one thing to do to keep it from setting the carpet on fire......I doubled up my fist and "volly ball lik batted that glowing red log back up into the fireplace!Of course, some of the glowing red embers were STUCK to my hand....and it took a while for the magnitude of the pain I was in, to reach my brain....at which point in time, I instinctively wiped the red hot ember off using my right leg.....smart cookie!! You will not believe this, but I slathered Vicks VapoRub all over my burned fist and my right thigh area that I burned.....the unbelieveable pain/burning/throbbing stopped immediately, and by the next morning neither site was evn red! I am looking at my hand now, and I am stunned and amazed that you can not even tell it was ever burned! I keep jarsd and jars of Vicks at the house now....that stuff is good for ANYTHING!!!! |
