The Covidex herbal drug
I must have been nine when I scalded myself for the first time. I had accidentally dipped my hand into a pot of boiled milk, which had just been put off the fire.
I screamed my lungs out. After going nuts over my incessant playfulness, my mother peed in a cup and dipped the burnt part of my hand into her pee for a small period. She calmly said to my elder siblings, “He’ll be fine.”
The burning sensation stopped a couple of minutes later, and there were no blisters. Over the next days, a painless darker coat developed over the scalded area. This dead skin only peeled off after new skin had grown on the inside, which was about a week later. I nowadays use my own pee when I burn myself.
