Love home remedies. For beestings my mom used to mix somthing like baking soda and Lemon? then put it on the sting. Worked wonders. wish i knew what that little concoction was, could use it on my kids.

Never, ever put flour or powder on fires, it'll explode.
This might work because it concerns a WATER burn, not
a fire burn. As for dumping it on a guy on fire, that is pretty
hard to believe, but it never sank in to my brain till someone
called us on it on this forum about a burn remedy.

When my mom was little, my grandmother was frying up chicken and she used a lot of oil. Mom pulled the pan off the stove and covered herself in hot oil. My grandmother went immediately to the flour sack and dumped it on her. Mom never had a blister or scar.

Egg White is also very good. My mother poured boiling gravey on Thanksgiving once over her hand and we cracked open an egg, carefully covered her hand with the egg white and blew on it to help it dry, and while it was sore, where the egg white covered her hand, it was only red, but in a spot we missed, a blister developed. it also helps the pain once the air is sealed away from the burn for some reason. but I do like the flour idea, I think it is quicker than egg white and will keep it in mind. thanks.

The essential oil lavender has been proven to take out the sting and leave no blister or scar. I'm an herbalist and each of my four girls has this with them at all times, plus it smells wonderful.......AND can help you sleep if you inhale it before bed or put a few drops on your pillow, and no, it doesn't stain, it dissipates.

If you through flour on a fire it ignites.

this reminds me of how powdered coffee creamer will go up in a nice fireball if you do it just right...
