I wish I had thought of that!

While looking for anything that would help a very bad sunburn in the pharmacy, I ran across the neatest thing ever; peroxide with a squirt nozzle! I have never thought of putting peroxide in a squirt bottle. How easy! I just think of the combined 33 years worth of boo-boos I could have sprayed instead of begging to let me touch it with a drenched cotton ball of peroxide. Now if you are saying to yourself "I already knew about this", then why have you not told me? Well that is ok, I now have my own, proudly displayed near the band-aids waiting for a boo-boo.

The sunburn? It was a bad one. And bless his little heart, I wish it could have been me. What did I find at the pharmacy that worked? Nothing. I used vinegar, baking soda, oatmeal, Solarcaine, burn gel, cool wash cloths, lotion, Advil, Gatorade and love. In the end, Advil, Euercin, Gatorade and love (all of which were on hand at home) made the difference. The one thing I did not try that was suggested...jalapeno juice. I think if I had tried it I would have had to use a spray bottle so that I could stand back a ways in order to have a head start in running. I might have had a very angry kid on my hands. I will save the jalapeno juice for my mosquito bites. YES, it does work for that!!
