Today, I spilled boiling water on my legs. A coworker told me that putting mustard on the burn would heal it. I ended up at the emergency room. When people walked by I could hear them say "it smells like hot dogs". FML

I'm guessing your talking about 'American' style mustard and not the real stuff?

I'm not a doctor, but I do work in a kitchen, burns happen, I've heard everything from butter, egg whites, tomato, garlic... Never heard mustard. But it sorta makes sense... The acid helps kill bacteria and most people keep mustard in the fridge so it's cool/ cold. I feel like you would have probably gone to the hospital mustard or not OP, FYL. Personally I run my burns under cool water for 3-4 min

Water only works when the bern is in it it takes the pain away but when you take it out it still hertz.

78- burns hurt, fact of life. People just expect micracle treatments that will instantly heal it and take away all the pain. It's still the best to cool it down, and keep the blisters intact. If they pop, keep it clean and dry till it heals

Who the F*** puts mustard on their burns? I've heard of putting toothpaste and vinegar and salt but not mustard. But hey, at least you smell good enough to eat

Hot dogs don't smell good, unless you like the smell of old dog insides.

We used mustard and vinegar for burns up at Subway. The mustard just felt better cuz it was always cold from being in the fridge.
