Do egg whites really help with burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. This is a myth.: A 2010 article in the journal of emergency nursing specifically recommends against treating burns with raw egg whites. The study concluded "no data supporting any benefit of applying or placing such types of agents on burned areas has been found, ". Moreover, "the risk of infection from applying most of these inappropriate remedies to a fresh burn wound is obvious.".
