This is one of the tips you'd have probably received as friends and acquaintances forward things and stuffs through to you via e-mail. This has not happen to me nor my next of kin but it is worth keeping, who knows.
It is about treatment for burns with egg whites.

Keep in mind this treatment of burns is being included in teaching beginner fireman. First Aid consists of first spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all layers of the skin. Then, spread the egg whites onto the affected area.
- Example: One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg whites from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer.
- She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.
Since this information could be helpful to everyone, it is a good idea to share it with them. I pray that you never have a need for it but in any case, keeping a dozen or so of egg in your kitchen is not going to cause you any harm. You've got nothing to lose, the eggs are there also for consumption.
Author's unknown, so this is yet to be proven. At least for me.
