Kitchen burns can be an occupational hazard.Im sure we have all earned our stripes(thats the strait burn you get by encountering a pan or the oven,similar to branding an animal but not so intense I hope) or been popped by the fryer while adding a to moist product.Also grabbing a hot pan handle can kinda wake you up also.
Some of the worst cuts I have seen have actualy come from our plastic wrap and aluminum foil cutters.These can be very jagged cuts.
I use an antibiotic cream like neo sporin after washing and drying the affected area as infection is the biggest thing you wish to prevent.Keep it dry and aired out when possible and cover while working with food (this is where gloves and a band aide come in handy.Also I agre that dull knives are a bain in the kitchen and are an accident waiting to happen.
Most important remember when you are working the ovens or doing knife prep or even covering something with a piece of plastic wrap to pay attention.Even then well,we are all human.........Doug...........
