Asalam alaykum. I hope you are doing great. I got this message from my sister and had to share with you.
As Forwarded :
Can we all have a bag of flour handy in all our kitchens and let everyone know where it is.
A woman's experience with burns:
Some time ago I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water....!!
A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, as I was screaming, & asked me if I had some plain old wheat flour...
I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes.
He said, In Vietnam , there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...Well, it did not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!!!!
Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, pulled it out and did not even have a red mark or a blister & absolutely NO PAIN.
Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. *Cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.
I use the wheat flour and have never ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister!
I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes .... the pain was gone and no burn.
Try it . . . Experience a miracle!
Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did!
Flour has heat absorbent and strong antioxidant properties . Thus helps in burns patient, if applied within 15 minutes.

My personal experience :
I was making breakfast one morning and dumped potatoes into the pan too quickly and this made some hot oil splash on two of my fingers and left forearm. I quickly sprinkled some flour on my fingers and forearm waited a few minutes then carried on cooking. It was a school day and we were running late. I thought to myself that I'd take a good look at my arm later. It stung a bit but I was fine.
Like 30 minutes later, after dropping the kids off at school, I looked and there was only a tiny patch of skin at the side of my wrist which I didn't cover with flour earlier, that was reddish. Other than that there was no other sign that I had a kitchen accident that morning.
And I only knew about the power of flour because a neighbour told me how it saved her nephew who spilt hot water on himself.
So please always have at least a bowl of flour around. Take care of you.
I'll be back, In sha Allah.
P.S. This can only work for first degree burns (where you have red and blistered skin)
