Thank heavens I had
brought in an Aloe Vera plant to the catering kitchen. The Aloe Vera plant is
small, green, and a succulent that doesn’t need to be watered, often, and the
thick leaves, which contain a sticky substance that can be used for medicinal
purposes.
I seldom burn myself. But the past two weeks, I managed to burn my left arm and then my right arm.
Both burns hurt and after I swore, and saw stars, I cracked open one of the fat
stems and rubbed the gooey substance heavily on my burns. I did this throughout
the work day and it helped the burning sensation. Eventually, the red marks
went away without leaving a scar.
I hate burns! When I
mentioned that to the Chef, my daughter, she suggested that I wear long
sleeves. My thought was maybe I should wear armor on my arms but that would be
difficult, bulky, hot, and uncomfortable.
Maybe being more
careful and having an Aloe Vera plant close at hand is sufficient enough.
