Yep - my hand was on fire and it sucked as much as one would imagine.
Being a lab hero i saved the 5g ultimate purity mesc on the plate
It was my hand or my house - one had to get burned
Sucks - i miss my skin, stuck with a zombie hand for a while
Thank god for poppies - and kratom, and kushberry.

Be carefull dudes - even after years of working with solvents - sometimes they can still suprize you.
 
Oh my, thats not good!

Can you tell what exactly happened so we can learn from your unfortunate mistake?

Let's hope your hands heal;s quickly and isn't mimosa used for skin burns too?


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Amen, but be careful my friend!

Hope you feel better soon...burns suck... (as an ex-sous chef I have the scars to prove it)
 
So how exactly did you catch your hand on fire? How bad are the busrns, 2nd or 3rd degree? i feel your pain as I worked in a kitchen and while cleaning a deep frier spashed 350 F grease on my forearm, effectively removing a nice chunk of skin. I had cleaned thede thousands of times before. all it takes is one slip and BOOM skinless.

Well I hope you heal quickly and as painlessly as possible, and good job on keeping your cool and saving all that mesc. that would've been serious salt on the wound. stay safe
 
Ouch! I highly recommend both coconut oil & manuka honey for healing burns and to help leave minimal scaring.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
 
I recently burned my hand while juggling with cans of near boiling water (for a THP ayahuasca extraction). Not as bad as your experience propably, but it hurt like crazy. So i feel for you. Heal fast.
 
it happened to swim a month asgo to both hands and he still has traces of theese burns :roll:
he had bubbles large as tangerines and nuts that the doc cut with a scissor :lol:
be careful.it ignited couse hot vapors went under my cooker and wooom! 😉 :oops:
mummy was so angry about this! lol
 
Doh. Typed up a fancy story and post failed. Take two.

I caught myself on fire about a year back myself. I was sterilizing with both IPA and flame, and had numerous damp paper towels about. Of course some IPA dribbled on to my hand, and when I got it near the flame it caught my thumbs and such up. Instinctively I swatted my hand about, sending globules of fire flying and igniting the ideal combination of paper air and alcohol. They went up fast and big! It was my hand or my house, so I spent the next 20 seconds or so using all parts of my body, unprotected, to stamp out the various fires (intense, like slow motion). I am very glad I was in a bathroom with nothing particularly flammable nearby.

Burned off about 2/3rds of the back of my index and middle finger on my right hand, and also a little less than half of my ring finger and thumb. Index and middle fingers lost the lower knuckles completely for a few weeks as it had killed all the loose skin and it fell/crumbled off. I thought my hand was going to heal so I couldn't bend it! Amazing how the body can heal those wrinkles and folds while still in use. Simple bandage and a months time and I was no worse for the experience. Hope things went as well or better on your end, Phlux.

Entertaining thread. What's life without being caught on fire once or twice? Not anything I would want to live, anyway.
 
From some of these posts it sounds like a fire extinguisher should be required equipment for any tek that involves a flammable solvent. Even if safety guidelines are followed, accidents can happen. Then there's impatience and that little voice that says stuff like: "If I put this dish with naptha on this heating pad there won't be a spark."
Get better Phlux-, and I'm with endlessness on trying powdered wet MHRB on the wound (depending on severity), but I was wondering if there is a way to sterilize the MHRB first.
 
yeah got a good few almond to peacon sized bubbles - so zombie.
its a bit too severe and deep - 3rd degree in spots so im not to keen to test new things on it.
I was gona buy a fire extinguisher a few days ago - just to have around caus i now have an indoor fireplace.

It happened thru my ignorance - i had been up "straktin" a long time - twas 5am or so when i caught fire.
Iv been burned worse before - my passion before entheos was a pyromaniac one - sulphur/zink 50/50 burns hot an fast and takes no prizinors.

Oh yeah, I had those for a few days too, maybe a little longer. Then they died off and left me missing a really surprisingly deep amount of skin. They healed just wonderfully though, and I pretty much can't tell I ever burned myself. I thought it was so so so so so so bad and that they weren't going to heal and that I had messed them up for life and all this, I would say I thought they were third degree, and what do you know good as new. Little bit of different stressing type effect on some parts, but barely noticeable. You'll be just fine, just make sure to rest it in boiling IPA for at least 6 hours a day :twisted:
 
swim was temped to try powdered mhrb too but he was healing at surgery so he didn't..now swim skin is so smoooth and peachy!😉
don't use solvents near to open fire
