Treating Burns With Flour Has Miraculous Results- Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
A forwarded email about someone who was treated for a burn by a Viet Nam Veteran using ordinary flour. The results were so good that it suggests keeping a bag of flour in the refrigerator and using it instead of water for treating burns.
The Truth:
TruthOrFiction.com has found no evidence of this being true or that flour could be an acceptable treatment for burns when conventional methods are not available.
It could be a coincidence that this eRumor began circulating around April 1, 2011.
