Clampdown

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I accidentally clamped my hair straightener down on my ear. Eleven hours later, it still feels like I have a burning, swollen fireball hanging off the side of my head. FML

get a cortex. the infrared technology helps reduce heat transfer of immediate contact. I've accidentally touched mine a million times while it was 425 degrees! lol. tjmaxx or marshals! ~$30!

Ooooh I've done that plenty of times. ice works well:)

Ouch, first off: Don't use ice. It could make the burn worse. Second: I've burned my arm before on a 450 degree metal handle that holds those pizza stone pans. It hurt very badly, and I just ran warm to gradually cool water on it. For a few weeks, I had a giant scab, that eventually turned to a scar running the length of my forearm, but now I don't have it anymore, so don't worry.
