Ever ever move your boil kettle with out wearing shoes, even if a storm is blowing through....


Had a storm blow through and I was seasoning a 10 gallon brew kettle by boiling water in it, well I had already turned the heat off, and while moving it the dog ran into me causing me to lose my balance and I spilled about 9 gallons of hot hot hot water on da feet

I could tell a story about a guy who showed up for work with boots on and pants tucked into those boots. He then proceeded to brew an entire pot of coffee. The coffee pot malfunctioned sending the entire pot of scalding hot coffee down his leg and into his boot. Following that was a trip to the ER. Couldn't get his boot off fast enough. Scars to prove it. Name purposely omitted to protect the foolish....

Lesson #2: Don't relax and quaff beer when you're handlin' 10 gallons of boiling water (during a storm). And don't stick your dick in the mashed potatoes. It ain't that kinda party.

Dog is still alive, he was smart enough to avoid the hot scalding water and I wasn't thinking clearly enough TO KICK HIS EVER LOVIN ASS!!!! at the time

Still sore as crap and blistered up good....no shoe for a while.....but it could have been worse At least I still have FEELING in it LOL

The recommended treatment is cool water to reduce the heat, not ice, apparently ice can make it worse, actually burning the skin even further or breaking the blisters open and allowing an injection to set in.

1. remove the clothing
2. Run cool water for 20 minutes
3, wrap with gauze loosely
4. head to the ER

If it was hot enough that the skin peeled off, get the clothing off and race your fanny to the hospital.

Glad it wasn't wort

Grease youself up with bacitracin and get some rest. After a few days, switch to unscented lotion. I had 2nd degree burns all over my face and loaded myself up with it. I have no scars and my skin didn't even peel.
