toothpaste for burns

My brother blogged about this a while ago.  You are going to think we're nuts but it does work.  I pulled a hot tray out of the oven tonight and proceeded to touch it with 4 fingers.  Ouchy ouchy.  I ran to the bathroom, ran my fingers under cold water for a minute, then applied heaps of toothpaste to ouchy bits.  I kept it there until the pain went away And I could feel a cooling sensation.  No more ouchy and no blisters.  Read the technique properly at  http://ausdag.blogspot.com/2008/12/toothpaste-for-burnt-fingers-boiling.html
