Egg Whites to Treat a Burn?

Post #1 - July 26th, 2011, 10:05 amI received an email that told a story of how a young man burned his face and a woman burned her hand and they were saved by covering the affected area with egg whites. It mentioned that the collagen and layer of dried whites protected the skin. This sounds like hooey. Anyone have an opinion on this?Last edited by Pie Lady on July 26th, 2011, 10:26 am, edited 1 time in total.

I lot of credit is given the egg white.
The very first action of cooling the skin was very important. Where there is heat, the damage will continue.
