Should You Treat Burns with Flour?
Claim: The application of flour is an effective and recommended treatment for burns. FALSE Example: [Collected via e-mail, March 2011] Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boil
Covering burned skin with plain white flour will immediately stop any pain and promote healing without so much as a blister.
Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did.

FAKE. Please don't do that,, the recommended action is to immediately immerse the burned area in cool water or under gently running cool water for a minimum of five minutes. Doing so halts the burning process, numbs the pain, and prevents or reduces swelling.
