Cures for the Ailments of Yesteryear
Actually, anything greasy put on a burn will keep the heat in and makes it worse. My grandmother used to tell me to do put butter on burns until my grandfather (who was a blacksmith) told her to stop it! Slugs: When a child, I had a wartz on the underneath of my big toe. My grandmother...- Gilboa
