🧈 FACT or FICTION: “Butter helps burns heal.”
❌ FICTION!
Putting butter (or oil, toothpaste, or cream) on a burn can actually make it worse by trapping heat and increasing the risk of infection.
✅ FACT: The safest and most effective first aid is to run the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes. Then cover with a clean, non-fluffy cloth or dressing.
Simple. Safe. Effective.
