Thanks!

Make sure you use real honey and not the flavored corn syrup so commonly masquerading as the result of the labor of bees (and beekeepers).

I have burned myself badly a couple of times; the first, I ran cold water on the burn for about a half hour. It never blistered, but it did peel after about a week.

The second; I grabbed a hot cast iron skillet barehanded. I put Tea Tree Oil on that one, and within about a half hour had no pain, no redness, and it never blistered or peeled. The aroma is somewhat distinctive, though.

I have never tried honey for burns.

Lesser burns not so seriously regarded (nor treated) blistered and were messy.

Applying regular mustard to bee stings took away the swelling and the pain for me this summer. I had to apply it a couple of times (after normal washing of hands which is where the bee stings occurred).
