I Suppose...

...I should count myself lucky that the worst burn I've ever had constitutes second degree burns over less than one percent of my skin. Tomorrow, that will probably be a blessing I'm happy to count.

Right now, however, looking at the state of my left hand, it's rather scant and painful consolation. Bloody hell, that hurts.

Bloody hell. What happened? Work injury with cooling equipment?

Nothing so claimable - shallow fried my hand with airborne beef dripping.

Ouch - hope it heals swiftly hon

Please tell me you have gone to the doctors with this?

Hope it heals soon, I have had scald burns before, not fun.

Last time I properly scalded myself, I was about ten months old - there is still a patch of skin on my leg that grows darker hair than that round it.

I didn't go to the doctors in the end - I spent the rest of the evening with my hand immersed in cold water. Not as good as running, but it meant I woke up today with only a tingle, very little pain, and an impressively mottled hand.

Nope, failing to think of a suitably dire pun.

Glad you've not damaged yourself too badly though - fat scalds can be bloody nasty.

Despite the burning desire to crack one? Despite knowing this comedy like the back...nay, palm...of your hand?

Yowch, and many sympathies. I burned myself rather painfully a few months back, and just reading this is making me wince in remembered pain... hope it feels better sooner.

Many thanks. It's on the mend, and only some of the splashes went deep enough to blister up. Could have been a lot worse, all things considered.
