Does white flour help burns?

November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

I got an email from a relative with a story that using the regular white cooking flour helps burns to recover, sometimes within minutes.  The story also said that it helps serious burns.  But I don't know whether or not to believe it as this relative always sends weird stories that are only found in urban legends ..  Cheesy   Any comments on this flour & burn story?

It must be that story that starts with "once I was cooking some corn ...." bla bla bla stuff, right? It's going around on email like hot cakes.  lol.  But believe me, it's bullshit.  Flour doesn't help burns.  There are people who also circulate stories that applying cold mustard or vinegar help burns.   I don't trust any of these crappy stories.  Even a minor first degree burn should not be taken lightly.  It ought to be treated according to professionl advise otherwise it could get infected and lead to complications.   The best and immediate treatment for burns is cold water.  If you burn yourself during cooking or ironing or while doing any other chores, dip the burn in cold water for at least 10 minutes or more, depending on the severity of the burn.  If it's  2nd or 3rd degree burn, you might need to keep it in cold water for over an hour.  Even after that when you remove it from the water, it will start to burn but lesser than before.  At this point you should apply some doctor-approved burn ointment and wrap it in a clean bandage.  Third degree burns can sometimes damage the nerves.  They need professional attention as soon as possible.  Definitely keep away from rubbish stuff like flour, mustard or vinegar. 

Moreover, according to professional suggestions, I've read that Vitamin E oil from a capsule or vitamin E cream applied once a burn has healed helps to prevent scarring.  But also, to lessen scarring one can use the silicone scar gel.

Mash'Allah, thanks for your very illuminating opinion, sister Heba.  I pray to Allah none of us get a 2nd or 3rd degree burns because they are so painful.  But 1st degree burns are very common and happens every now & then.  People need the right advise, not the urban legend or snopes stuff.

And the other crazy snopes stuff that are supposed to heal burns are said to be egg white, honey, vinegar and baking soda.
