Chapstick

Chapstick is the best thing I've found to put on burns. It eliminates the pain and leaves no blisters. Easy to keep with you at all times.

Burns

If you run out of burn cream, and someone gets a mild burn, all you have to do is put vinegar on the burn. Don't have vinegar? Try a dill pickle. Sounds crazy but it takes the hurt out right away. It also works on sunburns.

Burn Relief

When you get a mild burn, take a raw potato and shred it with a cheese grater. Place the shredded potato on your burn, and it takes the pain away.

Soothing Bee Stings

When you get stung by a bee, remove the stinger then cut up a papaya and rub it on. It relieves the sting. Repeat every couple hours as needed.

Bathtub Safety for Kids

After you've filled the tub with a desired amount of bath water, run several seconds of cold water through the faucet. If small children turn the hot water tap on by accident, you'll have a little time before it comes through.

Great use for lip balm

Rubbing PLAIN (Not mentholated or flavored) lip balm on those finger-tip cracks that often happen in winter months, instantly stops the pain and speeds healing.
