Do Not Butter Burns!!!

An outdated, traditional and severely damaging remedy is to apply butter on burns. Butter will retain and raise the heat levels because the butter will start to melt and sizzle. That sizzle is full of heat. Heat that's sitting over your burned skin. Not a good idea. Instead, run cold water over the affected area. Do not, I repeat, do not use ice. Ice can cling to the skin, but it's also an extreme temperature. Going from burning hot to icy cold is a shock to the system. Your body only interprets burn, hot and freezer burns.
