Question 1

what to do after burning hand on frying pan handle?

Accepted Answer

Red only ok: First degree burns can be managed with pure vaseline massaged often. Advil (ibuprofen) for pain and inflammation is fine. Burn center for more serious injury.

Question 2

what is the best ointment to use when you burn your hand with a frying pan?

Accepted Answer

Cool water: Use cool/luke-warm water first to stop the burning. Leave blisters intact. Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream is specifically for burns—helps cool & prevent infections—but may be by prescription only. If burn involves much of hand or other large areas, seek emergency help at once to prevent complications.

Question 3

yes, i burnt my hand on a frying pan, it hurts started to burn again.. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Apply ice: Ice can help even applied later.  The thing to do for any burn, immediately, is to grab a pack of frozen vegetables or an ice pack or ice in a baggie and apply it for 15 minutes to the burned area. This will reduce the pain, limit the spread of the burn, and be of great relief. If you did not do these, or applied oil or butter (useless!), then you will have a painful area to deal with.

Question 4

i've seen some people who don't wash their hands after handling and cracking eggs when they are baking or frying. yet, these people don't seem to get sick or make others sick. why? isn't there a risk for salmonella?

Accepted Answer

Cooked salmonella: Cooked salmonella is not infectious. Types of salmonella that give humans disease are swallowed as live salmonella. That means a person who cooks his food well and then doesn't cross-contaminate his cooked food with live salmonella from other things in the kitchen or bathroom, can be fine. Also, if his raw food doesn't have salmonella, it can't give him salmonella even if not well cooked.

Question 5

what to do when you burned your hand with fry pan?

Accepted Answer

Ice: For all burns immediately put ice on it for 15-20 minutes - which can be an ice pack, a bag of frozen vegetables, or whatever is at hand.  This will do an amazing amount of good.  Do not slather it with butter or vaseline.  Protect it thereafter from abrasion.  See a doctor if the burn appears deep or the pain is too severe.   But always think ice first.

Question 6

can you get aflatoxin leaving pans with water in for several hours and then not cleaning them before using them to prepare food? also from tea towels that i dried my hands in and didnt wash aft handling food that had been left out for several hour?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: The concentration of smoke in the situation you describe is way too small to cause any problem.

Question 8

how long will it take for a burn on my pinky to heal from a hot pan?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Depends upon size and depth of burn. Less deep burns can heal in a few days. Larger deeper burns can take longer. If injury is arounentire finger, should see a hand surgeon.

Question 9

can rust/burnt food from baking pans and a griddle give you tetanus?i think a piece of rust/burnt food got in my finger.got it out with nail clipper.

Accepted Answer

Not directly: The issue for tetanus is not the agent that caused a wound in your skin. (although some are more likely than others) The problem is the tetanus spores that can be present in the dust, dirt, environment anywhere and use any open cut to get in and cause tetanus. If you have not had a booster within 10 years it is reasonable to get one soon.

Question 10

why are my hands so cold?

Accepted Answer

Nutritional cause?: Cold hands and feet could mean nutritional deficiencies.  That's not  so bad, but inadequate nutrition could lead to much more dangerous health problems.  If you're not getting sufficient B12 you might get cold hands and feet.  The same is true with magnesium and iron.  If the diet you're on is missing key nutrients! you need a better diet. Could be nonnutritional causes too. Talk to your doctor.
