When was the last time you had a serious burn? One that was worth remembering.

This question was inspired by a recent event. I was preparing to fry some chicken. I had the oil in a pot on the stove and had the heat cranked up for a while so the chicken would fry right away obviously.

The pot was slightly turned so I reached for the handle to turn it so that it was symmetrical with the other pots. When my two fingers touched the handle, it took a second to actually feel the sharp pain, but when it happened I quickly removed my hand.

My fingers are now glossed over, red, swollen and the inside of my fingers feels like a small creature is trying to rip them open and is pissing flames. I'm incredibly irritated. Will be rewarded with chicken shortly though. For my bravery.

I was stupid event.

I was little and I put my hand on a lawn mower muffler.

I hat second degree burns.

Christ. That's pretty awful.

When I was like 4, I touched a clothing iron with the back of my finger. I cried, but it wasn't bad. But I have a pinkish burn scar in the shape of a heart on my finger, since my skin was so sensitive then.

@Sarah aww...the heart is cute but I'm sorry you got burned at such a young age.

@AnonymousToAnExtent yeah...it is...but my fingers are all better!

@Kaile_combs thanks, but it's not a horrible memory.

@Sarah oh? Mine was.

Congrats to the both of you for healing up so well.

One time I was cooking in an oven preheated to 200*. When I leaned over to get the pizza, my cousin tripped over me causing me to burn the side of my left arm.

@🍑Totally😝 !!!

@AnonymousToAnExtent I had to go to the ER. 😳

@AnonymousToAnExtent This was recently, though. At least I wasn't four like @Sarah.

it was a little over a year ago. I legit just picked up a ridiculously hot object and casually moved it a decent distance instead of ya know touching it, yelling ouch and removing my hand like a normal person.
