I blew up my face... - Page 2

RevSmoke · 03-24-2012, 09:17 AM

Ouch! Hope all is well. I was reading something about egg whites on first degree burns - get the yolks out, and blend them up with a fork, and then apply them to the burn.

I don't know how long after the burn you can do this, but I know of almost miraculous effect when done immediately.

Will pray you heal speedily.

My friend Freddie's face caught fire and I threw a glass of Black Label Jack on him. I mean, it's good intentions that count, right?

What is it that you guys find so amusing about burn victims? Lots of pretty pictures can be found with a Google search, but there is no need for the OP to post pics for your amusement.

CigarSquid · 03-24-2012, 10:11 AM

Not for amusement. He said it was good times. I am curious to see exactly what kind of damage that could cause.

I am not meaning to laugh at it what so ever.

If the thread starter took my post pics deal that way, I am very sorry.

Hope all is well and no blisters come.

BTcigars · 03-24-2012, 10:15 AM

Damn sorry to hear that! Hope your recovery is speedy.

Islayphile · 03-24-2012, 10:31 AM

It's a shame you didn't get any pics....would've been perfect for the

Pictures of you smoking! thread

Jasonw560 · 03-24-2012, 10:38 AM

As a human being, I sincerely hope you're okay.

The paramedic side of me would like to see pics, just for an assessment tool for 1st degree burns.

The cigar smoker in me wants to see them as to what could happen with a lighter like this. As well as the damage to the lighter.

Pretty sure if he's on here talking about his singed eyebrows and hair, he's probably ok.

It would be a whole different story if he had to go to the hospital for the burns.

I AM GLAD that your ok on that note.

Silound · 03-24-2012, 11:13 AM

Sadly, this is why I use matches mostly.

I had one literally rupture in my hand while testing it at the shop (very old Colibri, one of the good ones). The valve fell apart where the plastic fuel tank had become brittle, and the last little poof of remaining fuel escaped violently and flared all around my hand for a moment (ignited by my other hand that held a soft flame lighter to test the fuel flow). Pure luck that I didn't suffer more than a minor flash burn on the top side of my knuckles.

68TriShield · 03-24-2012, 12:00 PM

Oh damn.Glad it wasn't worse man...

But there's no way to tell from an online post if he's mumbling through bandages . . .

She was screaming "STOP DROP AND ROLL" at the top of her lungs and throwing things. The torch is pretty good size and I have to admit the fireball was pretty huge, it could have done alot more damage than it did.

I give up

Come on people.

Have you ever watched Americas funniest home videos?

You laugh at those people and I'm positive some of those people have to go to the hospital for medical help.

I don't think i really need to argue my case anymore.

He's not seriously hurt, burnt some hair and minor burns.

god, relax.
