"EVERYONE PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOU LOVE ONES! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT!
WOW!!! Real interesting! Something I did not know, could come in handy.
I wish when my nephew was badly burned someone had known this
A young man sprinkling his lawn and bushes with pesticides wanted to check the contents of the barrel to see how much pesticide remained in it. He raised the cover and lit his lighter; the vapors ignited and engulfed him He jumped from his truck, screaming.
His neighbor came out of her house with a dozen eggs and a bowl yelling: "bring me some more eggs!"
She broke them, separating the whites from the yolks.
The neighbor woman helped her to apply the whites onto the young man's face.
When the ambulance arrived and the EMTs saw the young man, they asked who had done this. Everyone pointed to the lady in charge.
They congratulated her and said: "You have saved his face."
By the end of the summer, the young man brought the lady a bouquet of roses to thank her. His face was like a baby's skin.
A Healing Miracle for Burns:
Keep in mind this treatment of burns is being included in teaching beginner fireman. First Aid consists of first spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all layers of the skin. Then, spread the egg whites onto the affected area.
One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg whites from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer.
She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.
Since this information could be helpful to everyone: Please share it!"
I think it’s vital to make it absolutely clear: Do not use egg whites for burns.
Using egg whites for burns is dangerous for a number of reasons:
- Uncooked eggs are a wonderful medium to grow bacteria. Applying egg whites to burnt, raw, damaged skin can introduce bacteria that will make treating and healing the burn very difficult.
- Egg allergies are quite common. Applying egg whites to the broken skin can result in an immediate allergic reaction. There are now more than a hand full of documented deaths from allergic reactions after this treatment.
- Anything other than cooling the wound and getting emergency medical care is simply delaying treatment and allowing the burn to continue.
